How do we explain the increased risk of prostate cancer but the decreased risk of colon cancer associated with dairy consumption?

Whoa, that was a long one, but I didn’t want to break it up and lose the narrative thread. I hope it was clear enough. This may be one of those that requires a second listen, because I packed a bunch in there.

Here’s the video I mentioned: Is It Better to Drink a Little Alcohol than None at All? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-better-to-drink-little-alcohol-than-none-at-all/).

What about dairy for bone health? That’s controversial too. See Is Milk Good for Our Bones? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-milk-good-for-our-bones).

What about those that say the dairy fat isn’t so bad after all? See Is Butter Really Back? What the Science Says (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-butter-really-back-what-the-science-says).

What about plant milks? Check out Prostate Cancer & Organic Milk vs. Almond Milk (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-and-organic-milk-vs-almond-milk).

For more on cancer in general, see: How Not to Die from Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-cancer)

And after this video came out, I did one on The Effects of Hormones in Dairy Milk on Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effects-of-hormones-in-dairy-milk-on-cancer/).
