High-intake of dairy 'associated' with prostate cancer – how much should you have?

However, It’s important to remember that not consuming enough dairy – which contains lots of calcium – can risk other conditions such as heart disease.

Restricting your dairy may lead to osteoporosis – a bone disease that is caused when your bones don’t create enough bone or too much, meaning that they easily break.

Prostate Cancer UK explained: “You do need about 700mg a day to keep your bones healthy. You can get this from a balanced diet.

“For example, a 200ml glass of milk contains 240mg of calcium and a small yoghurt contains about 200mg. You can also get small amounts of calcium from meat, fish, nuts, pulses, fruit and vegetables.”
