NEWS:

Lawsuits Allege Milk Wasn't Organic "The lawsuits allege that Costco Wholesale Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., Safeway Inc. and Wild Oats Markets Inc. sold Aurora's milk under their own in-house brand names. The brands include Costco's Kirkland and Target's Archer Farms, and the milk was sold in cartons marked "USDA organic," typically with pictures of pastures or other bucolic scenes, the lawsuits allege. "

Nonfat Milk Linked to Prostate Cancer “In an overall analysis of food groups, dairy product and total milk intake were not tied to prostate cancer risk, the authors found. Further analysis, however, suggested that low fat or nonfat milk increased the risk of localized or low-grade tumors, while whole milk decreased this risk.”

Pathogens prevalent in unpasteurized milk "A survey of unpasteurized milk samples drawn from dairy farms across Wisconsin found a significant presence of Coxiella burnetii and Listeria monocytogenes, two different types of bacteria that can cause serious infection and even death in some people. These findings have particular relevance for consumers seeking raw milk products."

JOURNAL ARTICLES:

Childhood dairy intake and adult cancer risk: 65-y follow-up of the Boyd Orr cohort. (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007) “CONCLUSIONS: A family diet rich in dairy products during childhood is associated with a greater risk of colorectal cancer in adulthood. Confirmation of possible underlying biological mechanisms is needed.”

Consumption of dairy products and cancer risks. (J Epidemiol. 2007) "CONCLUSION: The frequencies of butter consumption, and probably that of milk, were correlated with death from hematopoietic neoplasm, particularly from non-lymphomas."

Consumption of Dairy Products and Risk of Parkinson's Disease (American Journal of Epidemiology 2007) "These data suggest that dairy consumption may increase the risk of Parkinson's disease, particularly in men."

Dairy Products, Calcium and the Risk of Breast Cancer: Results of the French SU.VI.MAX Prospective Study (Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism 2007) "A lower risk of breast cancer was observed with high total dairy product consumption in the whole population … Our data support the hypothesis that dairy products, through calcium content or a correlated component, might have a negative association with the risk of breast cancer, particularly among premenopausal women."

Is higher dairy consumption associated with lower body weight and fewer metabolic disturbances? The Hoorn Study (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2007) "Conclusion:In an elderly Dutch population, higher dairy consumption was not associated with lower weight or more favorable levels of components of the metabolic syndrome, except for a modest association with lower blood pressure."

Meat and dairy consumption and subsequent risk of prostate cancer in a US cohort study. (Cancer Causes Control. 2007) "CONCLUSION: Overall, consumption of processed meat, but not total meat or red meat, was associated with a possible increased risk of total prostate cancer in this prospective study. Higher intake of dairy foods but not calcium was positively associated with prostate cancer. Further investigation into the mechanisms by which processed meat and dairy consumption might increase the risk of prostate cancer is suggested."
