Summary: This research investigated the link between dairy product consumption and the risk of esophageal, stomach, and pancreatic cancers. A case-control study of 1229 participants found that fermented dairy products were associated with a reduced risk of esophageal and stomach cancers, while high consumption of sugary dairy desserts increased stomach cancer risk. No significant association was observed with milk consumption. The study's findings suggest that the type of dairy product consumed is crucial, with beneficial effects from fermented options and potentially harmful effects from sugary desserts. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore underlying mechanisms.
