"Our findings add important weight to other evidence associating dairy products, rather than non-dairy calcium, as a modifiable risk factor for prostate cancer," said Gary Fraser, professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and School of Public Health (via Loma Linda University).

According to researchers, the risk of developing the harmful cancer increased in tandem with dairy consumption. Participants who consumed just under 2 cups of dairy per day were found to have a 25% increased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who consumed more conservative amounts (around a half cup of milk per week).

Fraser noted that while the increase in risk was nominal with small increases in milk consumption, the biggest leap in cancer exposure occurred at a consumption level of two-thirds cup of milk per day, stating, "It's almost as if some biological or biochemical pathway is saturated at about two-thirds of a cup of milk per day." The type of dairy and milk fat percentages of the dairy consumed didn't appear to have a significant impact.

While subjects who reported the highest intakes of dairy were "more likely to have screened for prostate cancer," researchers also note that on average those subjects also had higher BMIs, ate more animal-derived meals, and consumed less vegetable-derived nutrients and foods.This data indicates that high dairy consumption could contribute to a generally less-healthful lifestyle, increasing the overall cancer risk, rather than being a direct cause of the disease.
