怕怕！喝牛奶會增加患乳腺癌風險！

A worrying new study has warned that drinking dairy milk can increase your risk of breast cancer by up to 80%.

一項令人擔憂的新研究表示，喝牛奶會使你患乳腺癌的風險增加80%。

Researchers from Loma Linda University looked at the effect of drinking different types of milk on women’s breast cancer risk.

洛馬琳達大學的研究人員，觀察了飲用不同類型牛奶對女性乳腺癌風險的影響。

Their findings suggest that even relatively moderate amounts of dairy milk can increase women’s risk of developing breast cancer.

他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，即使相對適量的牛奶也會增加女性患乳腺癌的風險。

Dr Gary Fraser, who led the study, said: “Consuming as little as 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dairy milk per day was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer of 30%.

領導這項研究的加里弗雷澤博士說：“每天只喝1/4到1/3杯牛奶，患乳腺癌的風險就會增加30%。”

“By drinking up to one cup per day, the associated risk went up to 50%, and for those drinking two to three cups per day, the risk increased further to 70% to 80%."

“每天喝一杯，風險上升到50%，而對于每天喝兩到三杯的人，風險進一步上升到70%到80%。”

In the study, the researchers analysed the diets of nearly 53,000 women in the US, all of who were initially cancer free, and were followed for nearly eight years.

在這項研究中，研究人員歷時近8年，分析了美國近5.3萬名女性的飲食結(jié)構(gòu)，這些志愿者最初都是沒有患上癌癥的。

At the end of the eight years, 1,057 women had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

八年來，共有1057名婦女被診斷患有乳腺癌。

An analysis of their diets revealed no clear link between soy products and breast cancer.

對他們飲食的分析顯示，大豆制品和乳腺癌之間沒有明顯的聯(lián)系。

However, the researchers were surprised to discover a strong link between the disease and milk consumption - whether it was full fat or nonfat milks.

然而，研究人員驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，無論是全脂牛奶還是脫脂牛奶，都與這種疾病有著密切的聯(lián)系。

While the reason for this link remains unclear, the researchers suggest that it may be due to the presence of sex hormones in dairy milk.

雖然這種聯(lián)系的原因尚不清楚，但研究人員認為，這可能是由于牛奶中含有性激素。

However, speaking to Mirror Online, Dr Kotryna Temcinaite, Research Communications Manager at Breast Cancer Now, highlighted that the study doesn't prove a conclusive link.

然而，在接受《鏡報》在線采訪時，乳腺癌研究溝通經(jīng)理Kotryna Temcinaite博士強調(diào)，這項研究并不能證明兩者之間存在決定性的聯(lián)系。

She said: "While this US-based research suggests that consuming larger amounts of some dairy products could be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, it does not prove a conclusive link. Currently, there is no definitive evidence about whether and how dairy products in the diet may affect someone’s chances of developing breast cancer.

她說：“雖然這項基于美國的研究表明，食用大量乳制品可能與患乳腺癌的風險更高有關，但并不能證明這是一個決定性的聯(lián)系。目前，還沒有確切的證據(jù)表明飲食中的乳制品是否以及如何影響某人患乳腺癌的幾率。”
