Milk for Breast Cancer
We all know, or we shoulld, that milk is an excellent source of calcium, so important for healthy bones and in the prevention of osteoporosis. Now there's another reason to drink milk. Lively Woman.com tels us of a recent study:
Women who consume higher amounts of calcium and vitamin D may have a lower risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer, according to a new study.

Science Daily gives us the results of the study:
Over an average of 10 years of follow-up, 276 premenopausal women and 743 postmenopausal women developed breast cancer. Calcium and vitamin D intake were moderately associated with a lower risk of breast cancer before but not after menopause. The inverse associated in premenopausal women appeared more pronounced for more aggressive breast tumors.
