Dr. Wright has said numerous times that milk is for baby cows, not baby humans. Well that hold true for adults too. The link between dairy and prostate cancer has been well-proven over the years. And now new research shows that it also increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease in men.
Researchers gathered data from 57,689 men and 73,175 women participating in a nine-year study on cancer prevention. Over the course of the study, 250 of those men and 138 of the women were diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Based on the information they’d collected on the participants’ diets, the researchers found that men with the highest dairy intake — the equivalent of about three or four glasses of milk per day — had a 60 percent higher risk of the disease than men who drank the least amounts of milk.
The risk increase was only significant in the men in this particular study, but that doesn’t give women the all-clear. There are just too many cards stacked against milk for it to be a good idea for anyone — except those baby cows — to drink it.
