>>JENNIFER WAUGH: A RECENT STUDY REVEALS MEN WHO CONSUME A LOT OF DAIRY, ESPECIALLY
MILK ARE AT A HIGHER RISK OF
DEVELOPING PROSTATE CANCER,
LOCAL CALI KUZ RYAN IS JOINING
US NOW THIS MORNING. KIND OF
DIG DEEPER INTO THIS. GOOD
MORNING. THANKS FOR BEING WITH
SO YOU ACTUALLY HAD A NUMBER
OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE REACHED
OUT TO YOU, YOU KNOW, ASKING
ABOUT THIS AND AND MAYBE
QUESTIONING HOW MUCH MILK THEY
SHOULD BE ANY AT ALL. VERY
INTERESTING, YOU OF THE RECENT
STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN YOU
KNOW, I READ OVER THIS, IT
SPARKED MY INTEREST BECAUSE A
LOT OF PEOPLE CAME UP AND
BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND THAT’S A
LOT OF VERY AND A QUESTION
ABOUT THIS IS IT’S NOT A NEW
CONCEPT, PER SE, BUT THIS
STUDY DID A GREAT JOB. 28,000
MEN WERE FOLLOWED. THEY DID
FREQUENT FOOD QUESTIONNAIRES
AND WENT BACK AND LOOK AT HER
HISTORY OF PROSTATE CANCER.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, DO
ONLY 1200 MEN WERE FOUND TO
HAVE PROSTATE CANCER IN THIS
STUDY, BUT THEY FOUND THE
DEMAND THAT CONSUME MORE THAN
430 GRAMS OF MILK PER DAY,
WHICH IS ABOUT ONE IN 3
FOURTHS OF CUP PER DAY. SO
THAT’S NOT A WHOLE I MEAN,
THAT’S LIKE ONE GLASS.
BASICALLY, IF YOU TO THE RIM.
SO THE PER DAY HAD ALMOST 25%
INCREASED RISK OF A PROSTATE
CANCER ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AND
THERE’S A GOOD STUDY WAS
ASSOCIATE. THEY ABOUT 6300
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN IN THE
STUDY. SO SO IT WAS IT WAS A
BROAD LOOK AT THAT PICTURE AND
WOMEN TO TAKE AWAY FROM IT
FROM A POSITIVE ASSOCIATION IS
THAT IS A MODIFIABLE RISK
FACTOR. SO YOU CAN KIND OF
LOOK AT SOMETHING IF YOU DON’T
HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF PROSTATE
CANCER, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU CAN CHANGE TO BE A
MODIFIABLE THING THAT YOU CAN
DO ON A DAILY BASIS TO
POTENTIALLY LOWER YOUR RISK TO
DO YOU THEN NOW MAKE THIS IS
PART OF YOUR CONVERSATION WHEN
YOU’RE MEETING WITH YOUR
PATIENTS. I MEAN, ARE YOU
SUGGESTING THEN THAT THAT THEY
NOT CONSUME MORE THAN LET’S
SAY 2?
>> 2 CUPS OF MILK A DAY OR
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN
LOOK AT DEFER THIS. AND
INTERESTINGLY, YOU LOOK AT YOU
KNOW, THE FIRST THING YOU
FOLLOW IT WITH SOMETHING LIKE
THIS IS WHY, YOU KNOW, SAY
LOOK AT THAT. THERE WAS AN
ASSOCIATE WITH CHEESE AND
YOGURT AND THINGS OF THAT
NATURE. SO IT’S PROBABLY AND
THE AUTHORS CONTEND IT’S NOT
NECESSARILY THE CALCIUM
>> THAT MAYBE THE PART THAT
THIS TO THE FACTOR THAT’S
PROPOSED, THAT THAT CAUSES THE
RISK THAT THEY’RE PROPOSING
FROM THAT ASPECT. SO WHEN
YOU’RE TALKING TO PATIENTS,
YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT CAN A LOT
OF QUESTION ASKED, WHAT CAN I
DO? WHAT CAUSED THIS? AND
THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS, IT
WASN’T A RANDOMIZED TRIAL
WHERE YOU DRANK MILK. I I
DIDN’T DRINK MILK. AND THEN
THE OTHER GENTLEMAN DIDN’T
DRINK MILK AND WE LOOK AT
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. SO
WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS WITH A
LITTLE BIT OF A GRAIN OF SALT,
BUT IT’S NOT A RANDOMIZED
TRIAL. IT’S AN ASSOCIATION
ASPECT OF MEN SHOULD NOT STOP
DRINKING MILK. NO, BUT BUT YOU
CAN LOOK AT HOW MUCH MILK YOU
ARE DRINKING. YOU KNOW, THEY
FOUND THAT MEN TO DRINK A HALF
A CUP OR LISTED NOT
NECESSARILY HAVE THIS THE
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE RISK.
HOWEVER, THE MEN, THE DRAG 430
GRAMS OR THE SLIGHTLY LESS
THAN 2 COAST PER DAY COMPARED
TO THOSE THAT DIDN’T HAVE ANY.
THERE WAS EVEN A A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THOSE RISK FACTORS. SO
SOMETHING TO LOOK AT IF YOU’RE
DOING SOMETHING IN EXCESS,
WHICH AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THAT
MUCH, NOT AS MUCH MILK. YOU
MAY LOOK AT THIS AS SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN MODIFY AND THE
RISK FACTORS AS FAR AS TO WHY
THEY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, ABOUT
75% OF THE COWS THAT ARE
LACTATING WHEN THEY GET THEIR
MILK OR ACTUALLY PREGNANT. SO
COULD THERE BE AN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE HORMONES AND THE MILK
THAT THAT WE DRINK? COULD
THERE BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR
THAT MAY BE IN MILK THIS THAT
HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATE WITH
CERTAIN CANCERS AND IN TURN
AND PROSTATE CANCERS HAPPENS
TO BE ONE OF THEM. SO THERE
ARE MANY, MANY WISE THAT WE
DON’T QUITE KNOW YET THAT WE
HAVE TO FIND OUT. HOWEVER,
TAKE IT AS A MODIFIABLE RISK
FACTOR. AND WITH EVERY EVERY
CITY THAT YOU READ, YOU TRY TO
TAKE THE POSITIVE OUT OF IT AS
WELL AS KIND OF FINDING A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
THAT WE CAN LEARN. BUT THIS IS
ONE WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT IF
YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING A
LITTLE BIT IN THE EXCESS.
COULD YOU POTENTIALLY BRINGING
DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND THEN
BRING IT MORE IN TERMS OF A
FACTOR THAT YOU COULD LOOK AT
AND POTENTIALLY MODIFYING THE
WAY THAT YOU OR YOUR PERSONAL
RISK SPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A
FAMILY HISTORY OF PROSTATE
CANCER OR IF YOU OR SOMEONE
THAT HAS OTHER RISK FACTORS
THAT INCREASE YOUR PERSONAL
RISK OF PROSTATE CANCER. IT’S
INTERESTING, TOO, BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, THERE’S A LOT OF
DIFFERENT MILKS ON THE FOR,
YOU KNOW, THERE’S THE FULL FAT
MILK, THE LOW FAT THAT MATTER
IN HERE, THEY FOUND THAT THAT
DIDN’T REALLY MAKE MUCH OF A
DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF OF
CHANGING THAT SPECTRUM OF RISK
IN GENERAL, I WOULD BE REMISS
IF I DID NOT ASK THIS OF YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE A FAMILY
MEMBER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH
PROSTATE CANCER. THE
IMPORTANCE OF YOU COULD REMIND
OUR VIEWERS ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT YOU GET CHECKED BECAUSE
EARLY DETECTION IS SO MAKING
SURE YOU GET YOUR BLOOD WORK.
THE BIGGEST THING THAT YOU CAN
DO EVEN MORE SO THAN LOOKING
AT YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR MILK
CONTENT. WITH REGARDS TO
PROSTATE CANCERS, EARLY
SCREENING. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
IF YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR
UROLOGIST ABOUT GETTING A PSA
TEST EVEN A RECTAL EXAM.
>> TO COMPLETELY EVALUATE YOUR
PROSTATE CANCER RISK. YOU
KNOW, THE GUIDELINES ARE ALL
OVER THE PLACE. THEY’RE
CONFUSING. AND AND WHAT THE
MESSAGE OUT THERE, CAN BE
CONFUSING I PERSONALLY THE
FIRST PSA IN YOUR MID TO EARLY
40’S IS THE MOST TELLING SO
SPECIALLY IF YOU’RE AFRICAN
AMERICANS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU
HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF
PROSTATE CANCER.
>> THE OTHER MESSAGE TO PUT
OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION PUT OUT
THIS MESSAGE OUT THERE, THAT
80% OF HEART DISEASE AND 40%
CANCERS CAN BE PREVENTED. IF
WE STOP SMOKING, IF WE ATE
BETTER AND WE EXERCISE. SO IF
THERE’S A MESSAGE TO TAKE AWAY
FROM ALL OF THE STUDIES
GLOBALLY IS ENOUGH TO KIND OF
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT WE’RE
DOING. WE COULD POTENTIALLY
MAKE OURSELVES HEALTHIER IN
GENERAL CANCER AND HEART
DISEASE ARE 2 OF THE BIGGEST
KILLERS OF OF PEOPLE IN
GENERAL AND WHETHER YOU’RE
MALE OR FEMALE. THOSE 3 THINGS
COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE THE
BIGGEST BIGGEST CHANGE IN OUR
HEALTH AS PEOPLE IN GENERAL.
YEAH. AND A CHANGE IN
LIFESTYLE WHICH VERY EASY TO
DO IN TERMS OF SMOKING AND HOW
