A previous study by Finnish scientists on daily diet and breast cancer risk showed that drinking whole milk has a good effect on preventing breast cancer. A research report recently released by researchers from Cornell University in New York State, USA, further confirms that drinking more whole milk helps prevent various cancers. In particular, the small amount of special fatty acids in milk fat can play a role in preventing leukemia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer.
A study from the University of Iowa in the United States also pointed out that if you only drink skim milk, you cannot get the anticancer fatty acid CLA from milk. As for drinking semi-skimmed milk, the intake of CLA fatty acid will inevitably be reduced. However, people who do not drink whole milk can still obtain CLA fatty acids by eating foods such as yogurt, cheese, and the meat of ruminant animals.
