Dr. Plant and dairy
 

Just finished reading Dr Jane Plant's breast cancer book, and was wondering if anyone has read it and what is their take on Dairy vs. Non-Dairy.Maryanne

I have read it and got convinced. I am on a Vegan diet with ocassional cheese like twice a month. I do eat yogurt once a week or sometimes twice a week.

Dairy and CLA
 

CLA is found in grass fed ruminant products. It is also available in supplement. Here are some interesting links with abstracts. The middle one is very informative.

As usual check it out for yourself etc.

Strong Evidence of Anti-Cancer Effects
Over the past 18 years, numerous medical and nutritional scientists have published research that validates and expands on the Wisconsin team’s groundbreaking work. Thanks to their efforts, we now know that CLA isomers, when added to the diets of laboratory animals, protect the animals against experimentally induced breast cancer, colon tumors, and skin cancer. These effects occurred regardless of whether the CLA was given during or after tumor initiation.3,5,24,25
Mounting evidence suggests that CLA’s anti-tumor activity comes primarily from the c9t11 isomer. The evidence for CLA’s ability to decrease the incidence, progression, tumor burden, and number of metastases in models of breast, prostate, skin, and colon cancer had grown so convincing by the mid-1990s that the National Academy of Sciences published a statement in 1996 declaring, “[CLA] is the only fatty acid shown unequivocally to inhibit carcinogenesis in experimental animals.”26.....
