Re: Oh no! Not ice cream, too! Risk of death from bc increases in survivors overind

ONE serving of high fat dairy/day jumps the risk that much?! Yikes. I do like ice cream, yogurt, and cheese.

WWW.NotMilk.com is an interesting site to consider. I was off of dairy for years and years before cancer, have had some since. Many consider low fat dairy to be a good source of calcium and protein--others disagree. Green leafies, sesamie seeds, milk substitutes like rice milk and hemp seed milk are also good sources (some say on their label that they contain more calcium than cow's milk). I doubt all the steroids and hormones typically found in dairy along with the fat are health promoting either. I've read that skipping things that leech calcium out of bones (like soda) can help build strong bones along with dietary supplementation.
