Many families have a habit of drinking milk, which has a lot of benefits for the body and can also make the skin white. But there are advantages and disadvantages. Drinking milk is prone to prostate cancer. Have you ever heard of it? So how can men who drink milk often get prostate cancer
Many families drink milk with a large amount of nutrients, and more and more people are drinking milk every day. However, many studies have found that men who regularly drink milk are prone to prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in the male reproductive system. A Boston research team conducted an 11-year follow-up survey of 20885 male physicians in the United States. The dairy products consumed mainly include skimmed milk, whole milk, and cheese, among which 1012 men developed prostate cancer. After statistical analysis, it was found that compared to men who consumed 150 milligrams of calcium from dairy products every day, men who consumed 600 milligrams of calcium per day had significantly lower plasma concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (which has an anti prostate cancer effect) and a 32% increased risk of developing prostate cancer. After excluding factors such as age, weight, smoking, and physical exercise, it was found that men who consumed more than 2.5 servings of dairy products per day (equivalent to 240 ml of milk per serving) had a 34% increased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to men who consumed less than 0.5 servings of dairy products.
After scientific experiments and nearly 10 years of epidemiological investigation, it has also been confirmed that eating more dairy products can increase the risk of prostate cancer in men. There are also studies in China that have found that milk intake is significantly related to the incidence rate of prostate cancer, which may be due to the high estrogen content in some brands of milk.
Did you hear that men can't drink milk anymore! Fortunately, some plant compounds in fruits and vegetables have certain anti cancer effects. Lycopene is an important carotenoid that is widely found in fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, apricots, guava, watermelons, papayas, and red grapes all contain more lycopene, with the highest content especially in tomatoes.
After many scientists' research and investigation, 773 cases of prostate cancer have been found; The study found that compared to people who did not eat raw tomatoes, those who ate two to four times a week had a 26% lower risk of prostate cancer, as did tomato pizza and ketchup; Direct consumption of lycopene can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Lycopene has the strongest antioxidant activity among natural carotenoids. It has the effects of protecting genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, and regulating hormone status. Its anti prostate cancer effect has been confirmed by a large number of studies.
So, male friends who often drink milk, in order to take care of the prostate gland, men should pay attention to drinking milk instead of drinking it as a beverage. In addition, pay special attention to balanced nutrition, and eating more tomatoes is a good way. Because drinking milk is prone to prostate cancer.
