Drinking cow's milk increases the risk of colon cancer

Bonn (Germany) – A team of German researchers has discovered that there is a risk of cancer associated with the consumption of cow's milk. The so-called "beef and milk DNA components" can lead to chronic infections, which means a higher risk of cancer of the colon, breast or prostate, they said.

According to Deutsche Welle, the Nobel Prize-winning German cancer researcher Harald Tsur Hausen, the global distribution pattern of colon cancer and breast cancer rates suggests a link between milk and milk-meat consumption European and cow's milk.

In India, for example, where many cows are sacred and rarely eaten, only a few people suffer from colon cancer. In North America, Argentina, Europe and Australia, beef consumption is increasing in many diets. Colorectal is much higher.

Tsur Hausen, from the German Cancer Research Center, said the available information on DNA molecules in beef and milk opens up possibilities for preventing these risks. Dr. Hausen therefore recommends that mothers breastfeed their babies as long as possible, preferably 12 months longer. Be warned to feed babies in any way with dairy products.

Breastfeeding not only protects the child, but also its mother, who can protect herself from the work of the components of the DNA because the breast tissue is in contact with the sweet compounds. With regard to adults, the German doctor pointed out that it was possible to prevent them by giving them these types of sugar in breast milk.

"Eating beef and adult milk will not do anything, because one is already infected with" the DNA components of beef and milk, "said Hausen.
