This file http://www.notmilk.com/bgraham.txt Blake Graham is a nutrition student in Perth, Australia. He has been researching links between milk consumption and prostate cancer, and has sent us dozens of scientific references. We share one dozen of those citations with you today. Please pass this information to any friend of relative who currently has prostate cancer, or any male dairy consumer over the age of 40. _______________________________________ "For prostate cancer, epidemiologic studies consistently show a positive association with high consumption of milk, dairy products, and meats." Giovannucci E., Adv Exp Med Biol 1999;472:29-42 _______________________________________ "Cases also reported more frequent consumption of milk and other dairy products and meat, but no significant difference was noted for vegetable intake." Talamini R, Br J Cancer 1986 Jun;53(6):817-21 _______________________________________ "Higher intake of meat and dairy products has been associated with greater risk of prostate cancer..." Willett WC, Salud Publica Mex 1997, Jul-Aug;39(4):298-309 _______________________________________ "Positive correlations between foods and cancer mortality rates were particularly strong in the case of meats and milk for breast cancer, milk for prostate and ovarian cancer, and meats for colon cancer." Rose DP, Cancer 1986 Dec 1;58(11):2363-71 _______________________________________ "Diet appears to be a major determinant in the incidence of prostate cancer. In a case-control study conducted in Athens, Greece, we found that dairy products, butter and seed oils were positively associated with risk of prostate cancer, whereas cooked and raw tomatoes were inversely associated." Bosetti C, Eur J Cancer Prev 2000, Apr;9(2):119-23 _______________________________________ "Diets high in dairy products and meats are related to higher risk of prostate cancer incidence or mortality in most ecologic, case-control, and prospective studies."

" Snowdon DA,Am J Epidemiol 1984, Aug;120(2):244-50 _______________________________________ "The strongest and most consistent effects are positive associations with animal products such as red meats, eggs and dairy foods, and possibly by implication, fat."

Tzonou A, Int J Cancer 1999, Mar 1;80(5):704-8 _______________________________________ "High consumption of dairy products was associated with a 50 percent increased risk of prostate cancer. " Chan JM, Cancer Causes Control 1998 Dec;9(6):559-66 _______________________________________ "Positive trends in risk were found for consumption of cured meat and milk products. " Schuurman AG, Br J Cancer 1999, Jun;80(7):1107-13 _______________________________________ "Biomarkers, including testosterone and insulin-like growth factor, and nutritional factors, especially meat, fat, and dairy intake, have been linked to greater risk of disease.
