Milk link to ovarian cancer
Research, by Sweden's Karolinska Institute, claims that consuming large amounts of milk may increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

A study of more than 60,000 women found drinking more than two glasses of milk a day significantly upped the risk of the most serious form of the disease.

The reason why milk may increase the risk of ovarian cancer is unclear, but one theory is that lactose, a type of sugar found in milk, may overstimulate production of hormones which encourage tumour growth.

Cancer Research UK spokeswoman Kate Law said yesterday: 'Previous research has also suggested a diet rich in whole milk, yoghurt and cheese may put women at higher risk of ovarian cancer’.

'But the picture is far from clear.'
