Testicular Cancer Linked

To High Dairy Intake

10-15-3

 

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Canadian men who consume comparatively high amounts of dairy products have an increased risk of testicular cancer, according to a new study.

 

"Although testicular cancer is a relatively rare lesion, accounting for only 1.1% of all malignant neoplasms in males in Canada, it is the most common cancer among Canadian men 20 to 45 years of age," Dr. Michael J. Garner, of the University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and others write in the International Journal of Cancer.

 

The researchers obtained dietary information from 601 patients with testicular cancer and 744 similar men without cancer. They used a 69-item food-frequency questionnaire to collect data on 17 food groups, 15 nutrients, and 4 individual foods.

 

Subjects who consumed high levels of dairy products had an increased risk of testicular cancer. In particular, a high intake of cheese was tied to an 87 percent higher likelihood of developing testicular cancer.

 

Luncheon meat intake was also associated significantly with testicular cancer risk in the total sample, Garner's team found.

 

The investigators report that none of the nutrients were linked the risk of testicular cancer, but carbohydrate intake was marginally associated with one type of testicular cancer.

 

"Our study adds significantly to the sparse literature on dietary risk factors for testicular cancer," the researchers write.

 

"Although the present study provides evidence of increased risk in relation to the consumption of dairy products, the role of diet in testicular cancer etiology requires further research," they conclude.

Kurt Angle is screwed.

 

 

I wonder how they'll break the news to heavy milk drinkers.

 

"Got Milk, Scott?"

"Yes."

"Well you got cancer too. Sorry"

Did you know, for anything we consume and anything we do, there is a study that will link it to an increased likelihood of death or disease, and another study that will link it to a lower likelihood of death or disease?

I read a study that says shooting squirrels out of a catapult will help prevent cancer so I'm all good .

This reeks of PETA and their continual war against people drinking milk.

Yes, keep the fucking animal worshipping hippies on the other side of the Pond.

But seriously, is there anything we can eat or drink that somehow isn't tied to cancer, stroke or heart disease?

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Hell you can even tie breathing into getting cancer.

 

I think once you understand that it's basically a crap shoot whether or not your getting it, life will be much simpler.

No, so don't even worry about it. EVERYTHING is "bad for you" these days.
