A Glass of Milk a Day May Lower Risk of Colorectal Cancer, Study Suggests

New research has revealed that incorporating a glass of milk into your daily diet could potentially have a positive impact on bowel health, particularly in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. A recent observational study involving over half a million women found that consuming 200 grams of milk daily could lead to a 14 percent decrease in the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer.

The study, conducted by scientists at the University of Oxford, analyzed the long-term health data of middle-aged and older European women who completed a dietary questionnaire. Among the 97 dietary choices examined, dairy products such as yogurt and milk exhibited the most significant negative correlations with the development of colorectal cancer.

Interestingly, the research highlighted the role of calcium in dairy products as a key factor in reducing cancer risk. Consuming 300 grams of calcium was associated with a 17 percent decrease in the risk of colorectal cancer, with milk specifically showing a 14 percent risk reduction.

While the study emphasized the potential benefits of increased dietary calcium, it also cautioned against overstating the findings due to methodological limitations. More robust research, such as randomized controlled trials, is necessary to establish a causal relationship between calcium intake and colorectal cancer prevention.

While calcium-rich dairy products show promise in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer, other dietary factors such as alcohol and red or processed meat have been associated with an increased risk of developing the disease. Consuming two standard alcoholic drinks daily was linked to a 15 percent increase in cancer risk, while 30 grams of red and processed meat per day was associated with an 8 percent rise in risk.

Although observational studies have consistently shown a correlation between dairy milk consumption and reduced cancer risk, randomized controlled trials have yielded mixed results regarding the impact of calcium supplements on bowel cancer prevention. Further research is needed to establish a definitive causal relationship.

Overall, adopting a healthy lifestyle and making dietary modifications can significantly reduce the risk of bowel cancer. While the study underscores the potential benefits of dairy and non-dairy calcium sources, it also emphasizes the importance of moderation in alcohol and red meat consumption for optimal bowel health.

While coffee was not specifically addressed in this analysis, previous studies have suggested that increased coffee consumption may also lower the risk of bowel cancer.

With bowel cancer rates on the rise globally, making informed dietary choices and lifestyle changes can play a pivotal role in prevention. Whether it’s incorporating a glass of milk or choosing calcium-rich foods, taking proactive steps towards a healthier gut can have a lasting impact on overall well-being.

The study was published in Nature Communications.
