Got milk? You've got problems

Is this the next industry to be attacked? Karen Dawn writing in the L.A.Times informs us:

a study published just this month in the International Journal of Cancer found a 13% increase in ovarian cancer risk in women who increased their lactose intake in amounts equivalent to one glass of milk per day.

Men don't need milk either. A Harvard study published in 1998 linked high calcium consumption to prostate cancer, and in this week's news, we learned that Dean Ornish's low-fat, vegan diet (no dairy) may block the progression of that disease. While touting its products as a fundamental part of a healthy diet, the dairy industry won't rush to tell us that Scott Jurek, who just won the Western States 100-mile run — for the seventh time in a row — is vegan.

We await to see, if Karen Dawn and others could convince Congress to stop subsidizing dairy farmers.
