If you love cheese and milk, beware. Dairy products could up your prostate cancer risk, according to a new report.

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic recently conducted a study, published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, to explore whether plant and animal-based foods increase prostate cancer risk. To do so, they examined over 47 existing studies on the topic that involved more than 1 million participants. They gathered information about the subjects' diets and lifestyle habits, such as whether they smoked or exercised.

After analyzing the results, the team found a high consumption of dairy products, like milk and cheese, was associated with a higher chance of developing prostate cancer. There was no apparent link between increased prostate cancer risk and other animal-based foods, such as white meat, fish and eggs,where as plant-based diet was found to decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
