怕怕！喝牛奶会增加患乳腺癌风险！

A worrying new study has warned that drinking dairy milk can increase your risk of breast cancer by up to 80%.

一项令人担忧的新研究表示，喝牛奶会使你患乳腺癌的风险增加80%。

Researchers from Loma Linda University looked at the effect of drinking different types of milk on women’s breast cancer risk.

洛马琳达大学的研究人员，观察了饮用不同类型牛奶对女性乳腺癌风险的影响。

Their findings suggest that even relatively moderate amounts of dairy milk can increase women’s risk of developing breast cancer.

他们的发现表明，即使相对适量的牛奶也会增加女性患乳腺癌的风险。

Dr Gary Fraser, who led the study, said: “Consuming as little as 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dairy milk per day was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer of 30%.

领导这项研究的加里弗雷泽博士说：“每天只喝1/4到1/3杯牛奶，患乳腺癌的风险就会增加30%。”

“By drinking up to one cup per day, the associated risk went up to 50%, and for those drinking two to three cups per day, the risk increased further to 70% to 80%."

“每天喝一杯，风险上升到50%，而对于每天喝两到三杯的人，风险进一步上升到70%到80%。”

In the study, the researchers analysed the diets of nearly 53,000 women in the US, all of who were initially cancer free, and were followed for nearly eight years.

在这项研究中，研究人员历时近8年，分析了美国近5.3万名女性的饮食结构，这些志愿者最初都是没有患上癌症的。

At the end of the eight years, 1,057 women had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

八年来，共有1057名妇女被诊断患有乳腺癌。

An analysis of their diets revealed no clear link between soy products and breast cancer.

对他们饮食的分析显示，大豆制品和乳腺癌之间没有明显的联系。

However, the researchers were surprised to discover a strong link between the disease and milk consumption - whether it was full fat or nonfat milks.

然而，研究人员惊讶地发现，无论是全脂牛奶还是脱脂牛奶，都与这种疾病有着密切的联系。

While the reason for this link remains unclear, the researchers suggest that it may be due to the presence of sex hormones in dairy milk.

虽然这种联系的原因尚不清楚，但研究人员认为，这可能是由于牛奶中含有性激素。

However, speaking to Mirror Online, Dr Kotryna Temcinaite, Research Communications Manager at Breast Cancer Now, highlighted that the study doesn't prove a conclusive link.

然而，在接受《镜报》在线采访时，乳腺癌研究沟通经理Kotryna Temcinaite博士强调，这项研究并不能证明两者之间存在决定性的联系。

She said: "While this US-based research suggests that consuming larger amounts of some dairy products could be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, it does not prove a conclusive link. Currently, there is no definitive evidence about whether and how dairy products in the diet may affect someone’s chances of developing breast cancer.

她说：“虽然这项基于美国的研究表明，食用大量乳制品可能与患乳腺癌的风险更高有关，但并不能证明这是一个决定性的联系。目前，还没有确切的证据表明饮食中的乳制品是否以及如何影响某人患乳腺癌的几率。”
