“Fraser noted that the results had minimal variation when comparing intake of full fat versus reduced or nonfat milks; there were no important associations reported with cheese and yogurt.”
From another study:
Results: Each 400 g increment in daily dairy intake was associated with 16.8 µg/L (95% CI 6.9, 26.7) higher IGF-1 concentrations. Each 200 g increment in milk per day was associated with 10.0 µg/L (95% CI 4.2, 15.8) higher IGF-1. In contrast, we observed no association between cheese or yogurt intake and IGF-1 concentrations.

Cheese and yogurt created no IGF-1 problems in either study! Only normal milk products did.
Now, it's just left to the possible sex hormone issue.
Over a year ago my partner with recently diagnosed prostate cancer stopped drinking milk and eating breakfast cereal. Now he uses Almond Milk, buys cheap supermarket pizzas, and adds cut up vegetables and sliced supermarket slabs of cheese like Colby, Monterrey Jack, and Chedder (American factory cheeses), and a dash of Catsup or Barbacue Sauce. His genetic heritage is Swedish. I am wondering if cheap factory cheese might cause the same problems as standard processed pasturized milk?
I go to Trader Joes or Whole Foods and buy more expensive often imported varietal cheeses. Several of my direct recent ancestors grew up on dairy farms and I really like milk and need quite a lot of Calcium. Should I persuade him to use that kind of cheese instead or does it matter.
I am also trying to get him away from cheap white flour pizza. Instead I am making home made tomatoe sauce with some bottled sauce, plus cut up tomatoes, colored bell peppers, and onion, fried in olive oil, the tomado sauce added, and ten minutes before finished adding vegetables like broccoli flowers, green peas, and or asparagus slices. I make brown rice, or whole grain spaghetti to put it on. He also eats a lot of Harris Teeter vanilla yoghurt. His PSA when tested was above 20. Any more diet and nutrition ideas out there?
How does raw milk from grass fed cows fare in these studies.
