This review found 8 SRs which showed milk protected against breast cancer, 3 with a null effect, and 2 where milk was associated with increased risk Compare that to a single observational study showing a modest effect!pic.twitter.com/FuxhZ4Xs6v

And yet, the study you hear about is not the most robust piece of evidence, but the one that's got the best press team behind it (usually)
I chose to ignore it for two reasons: 1- The "one study" rule 2- They mentioned relative risk increase, but were silent on the absolute risk. (Shades of the bacon kerfuffle.) Still waiting for a solid consensus. Meanwhile enjoying milk.
I will share this on the BUD Facebook page.
My take is this most recent study has a high score because it's new and has gained a lot of online/media attention. Presumably the AAS drops over time for less-than-rigorous studies which fall out of the spotlight? SRs should stay more consistent?
