"We observed a 2-fold higher risk of the serous ovarian cancer subtype among those in the highest category of lactose consumption compared to the lowest
"For each 11-gram increase in lactose consumption (the approximate amount in one glass of milk), we observed a 20% increase in risk of serous cancers
"Women who consumed one or more servings of skim or low-fat milk daily had a 32% higher risk of any ovarian cancer and a 69% higher risk of serous ovarian cancer compared to women consuming 3 or less servings monthly
"Our findings provide some support for the hypothesis that lactose intake increases risk of epithelial ovarian cancer."
"Women who drank two or more glasses of milk per day had relative risks of 1.45 for hip fracture and 1.05 for forearm fracture when compared with women consuming one glass or less per week."
