Milk link to ovarian cancer risk
Consuming large amounts of milk may increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer, research suggests.
A study of more than 60,000 women found drinking more than two glasses of milk a day significantly upped the risk of the most serious form of the disease.
Dairy products have previously been linked to cancers, including those of the breast and prostate.
The research, by Sweden's Karolinska Institute, is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
