Recently, i have read in an article that consuming milk and milk products may cause cancer due the use of artificial cattle feeding. is that true? is it possible to avoid milk products completely? please provide your valuable suggestions!

Try Almond milk: There does seem to be an association between drinking cows milk and the development of certain cancers. Cows milk is "designed" to promote the growth of infant cows...which grow and mature much more rapidly than human infants. Human milk contains less of these growth factors. I recommend drinking almond or almond cashew milk instead of cows milk. Explore the topic at> http://bit.ly/1O9fpH1

Not cancer forming: milk products not associated with the development of cancer. Cattle feed which may contain hormone is not in a high enough level to produce side effects which on their own would not be related to cancer, but might induce fibrocystic disease of breast. The volume of milk needed would be excessive. Most cancers defined today if not genetically induced (5%) are viral or carcinogen induced.
