High- and low-fat dairy intake, recurrence, and mortality after breast cancer diagnosis.
This study found that breast cancer survivors who ate a lot of full-fat dairy like whole milk and cheese had a higher chance of dying from breast cancer or other causes compared to those who ate little or none, which matches the claim.
High vs. low-fat dairy and milk differently affects the risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer death: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies
This study found that people who drink more high-fat milk have a higher chance of dying from cancer or other causes, which matches the claim that eating more high-fat dairy might make breast cancer survivors less likely to survive long-term.
