PCRM has called on the federal government to consider adding label to cheese products that would warn women about the risk of breast cancer. Doctors said hormones found in cow milk-based cheese could contribute to development of the disease. […]document highlights a study that found high-fat cheese products could increase breast cancer risk by 53 percent in women.
PCRM aims to promote plant-based nutrition and lower consumption of animal products for better health. Up to 12,000 members agreed with the findings that cheese made from cow’s milk could be harmful.
These potentially harmful hormones include IGF-1, which has been directly linked to breast cancer.
However, women can still continue eating some cheese and other dairy products, PCRM noted. Adding low-fat dairy products to diets could also offer some benefits, such as lower risk of cancer.

Does the study include goat cheese?
BTW, cows are vegans...so if I eat a cow (yum yum) then I'm a vegan also. Vegetables feed on water...so eating vegetables is akin to drinking water.
do I sound like an anti-veganist?
Nothing that a little tomato sauce and oregano can’t neutralize.
Your lettuce probably has been sprayed with Roundup.
Anything and everything causes cancer.
Enjoy life!
White mice cause cancer.
They’re the only common factor in all the studies!

There is significant evidence of total biome reduction of insect populations,
Probably from habitat destruction, including intensive agriculture, the use of pesticides (particularly insecticides), urbanization, and industrialization.
actually what I am seeing up here is a dearth of squirrels during the largest acorn drop in YEARS.
Just no squirrels.
cow hormones...my first thought.
Also read that the bacteria from ROOT CANAL (left tooth, left breast, right tooth, right breast) is highly linked to breast cancer.

This and other statements give me to ask some skeptical questions. For this statement above, the use of the 'weasel wording' of "Up to" makes me wonder if the count was all members who FAILED to specifically DISAGREE?!
Then I wonder about the headline that indicates that this organization, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), is exclusively 'doctors' or, like the famous LEFTist & pacifist 'Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists', open to many who are neither Atomic Scientist nor even mere scientists. If PCRM is not, as I suspect, exclusively physicians, then the non-scare headline would, in a sane world, read "Some Doctors ..."
Finally, there is also the modifier 'could' in the above statement AND also here; "... a study that found high-fat cheese products could increase breast cancer risk by 53 percent in women." As anyone knowledgeable about statistics will tell you, the above is scary but without a numerical example is entirely misleading. The current absolute stats for all females are 1 in 8 in the US over an 80-year lifespan with increases as one ages. So a 53% increase of the 12.5% works out to a 19.13% or just over 3 in 16. Also left unsaid is the amount of cheese consumed and with what frequency.
Remember what the truism is about liars and statistics!
C'mon guys. If this is the best you can do take down your shingles and go back to running seances and reading tarot cards.
High carbs are what creates all of these problems.
When they try to link fats to diseases, they also conveniently leave out the fact that the people who eat fats, are also eating high levels of carbs.
Seems to me that Organic Milk is worth the price. Note that the incidence of breast cancer in men shot up 50 times higher than before when milk hormones were introduced to the American Dairy industry.
Did you know that Magnesium is used by the body to regulate Calcium intake? If you are badly magnesium deficient the intake of high levels of calcium will actually deplete your calcium levels as the body over regulates calcium removal.
Magnesium and Potassium are the two most crucial nutrients, and most people don’t get nearly enough of it.
And supplements generally aren’t of much help.
What role does Potassium play?

So for those on a Keto diet, these are the best sources for Potassium:
Portobello mushrooms, grilled: 521 mg
Avocado: 485 mg
Spinach, cooked: 466 mg
Kale: 447 mg
Salmon, cooked: 414 mg
What about other ‘studies’ that claim cheese prevents cancer?
