dairy consumption has been associated with prostate cancer, as was shown in an analysis of 47 studies, incorporating more than 1 million participants, looking at the effects of animal and plant foods on prostate cancer risk. The study found that men who ate the highest amount of dairy products had a 65 per cent higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the lowest amounts, whereas those who ate plant-based diets had a 36 per cent lower risk.
