Diet and nutrition, or ‘what we eat’ is the science (and art!) of nurturing the human body to reach its full potential. As a field of study, diet and nutrition is garnering more attention these days even as scientists discover how much of our health really depends on watching what we’re eating.

Vitamin D and calcium are the cancer preventatives, not milk. To conclude that drinking milk is a cancer preventive is false.

In fact, studies show that milk/dairy promotes asthma in children and osteoporosis in adults.

Dr. Frank Oski, Johns Hopkins University USA said, "There is no reason to drink cow's milk at any time in your life. It was designed for calves, it was not designed for humans, and we should all stop drinking it today"

Dr. Spock agreed, saying, "[T]here was a time when cow's milk was considered very desirable. But research, along with clinical experience, has forced doctors and nutritionists to rethink this recommendation.

And (WHO) says that western nations that consume a lot of meat/dairy have the highest levels of osteoporosis, which is caused by eating a lot of animal protein.

How very misleading to give this article a title suggesting that drinking milk prevents cancer. Aside from misrepresenting this particular study, you are actually suggesting a substance that many have found detrimental to their health.
