Oxford University and Cancer Researce UK published by the Gazi University Faculty of Medicine Faculty of Medical Oncology Department Professor. Dr. Uğur Coşkun said, “In the study, with milk consumption intestinal cancer In order to examine the relationship between the risk, genetic data from more than 542,000 women were analyzed and focused on lactase -related variants with lactose ability to digest in adulthood.
In addition, data on detailed eating habits, including daily milk purchases, were collected from the participants. By combining these two sets of data, researchers were able to better predict the causal effect of milk consumption on the risk of bowel cancer ”.
Coşkun continued his statement as follows:
“According to the results of the study, the risk of developing intestinal cancer of the participants who consumed 244 grams of additional milk per day was 17 percent lower. In addition, researchers found that the protective effect of milk consumption is independent of other dietary factors and lifestyle habits.
As a reason for the benefits of milk in reducing the risk of bowel cancer, milk is thought to be a rich source of calcium. Calcium can help protect against cancer by potentially binding to potentially harmful substances in the intestine and encouraging the death of abnormal cells.
It can also support the growth of useful intestine bacteria, which produces a short -chained fatty acid with lactose, anti -inflammatory and anti -cancer effects in milk. Finally, the conjugate linoleic acid, which is an fatty acid found in milk, meat and dairy products.
There is a decrease in sick age
The incidence of colorectal cancers, which ranks third among the most common types of cancer in the world, is increasing day by day. Moreover, we see decreases in the average age of patients. In other words, intestinal cancer is seen at a young age.
