Survey Reveals 80% of US Men Unaware of Dairy-Prostate Cancer Link

A new survey indicates that 80% of US men are unaware that dairy consumption is linked to increased prostate cancer risk. Despite this lack of awareness, 66% of respondents said they would likely avoid dairy if informed. The data highlights a gap in healthcare communication, as only 20% of men have received nutritional guidance from medical professionals regarding this risk. Research cited suggests plant-based diets may significantly lower cancer risk, progression, and recurrence.

Calabrian Cave DNA Reveals Europe’s Oldest Father–Daughter Birth Case

DNA analysis of remains from Grotta della Monaca in Calabria uncovers a 3,700-year-old case of a child born to a father–daughter pair, the earliest such instance confirmed in prehistoric Europe. The population shows strong links to Early Bronze Age Sicily and some movement to northeastern Italy, indicating wider regional networks despite the site’s remote location. Interestingly, most adults lacked the lactase-persistence gene, yet dairy was regularly consumed—likely via yogurt or cheese—demonstrating culturally driven dietary adaptation before genetic changes.

Neolithic Ceramics Unveil Cheese-Making and Lactose Intolerance Solutions.

Analysis of neolithic pottery shards from Poland shows that people were making cheese as far back as 9,000 years ago, potentially to circumvent lactose intolerance. The presence of dairy protein casein from cows, goats, and sheep suggests that they were making a kind of La Tur long before most other forms of modern food production ever reached the continent. Today, people who are lactose intolerant can still eat well-aged cheeses, owing to the removal of lactose both during the cheese-making and aging process.
