expansion. In Norway research was conducted, that revealed people who drink 3 glasses of milk daily, have higher possibility of developing breast cancer compared to people who drink 1 glass or less.

The majority of the patients originate from countries like Finland, Sweden, Great Britain, Canada and America, the countries which are leaders in milk consumption. It is already identified that hormones and growth factors inside the milk possess carcinogenic potential, which also relates to synthetic dietary supplements of vitamin D, which frequently improve the milk and other milk products. It is thought that those who suffer from breast cancer, on average consume twice as much synthetic vitamin D, unlike the others. B...
