An authoritative report presents and discusses historical trends in the consumption of dairy products in the US, their nutritional value, and their contribution to dietary fat intake as related to cancer risk. Evidence linking dietary fat to cancer is discussed, with emphasis on inconsistencies of the dietary fat-cancer hypothesis and dietary modifications for reducing cancer risk. The role of milk and milk products as potential inhibitors of carcinogenesis also is discussed. Food compositional data and per capita intakes are included.
