Should I cut dairy products out of my diet?
Ingredients
Method

The experts’ recommendation is to follow a healthy, balanced diet that includes daily consumption of dairy products. Dairy products should only be eliminated from your diet if your oncologist or your registered dietitian indicates so.

Recommendations

During cancer treatment experts recommend following a healthy and balanced diet that includes daily consumption of dairy products (two or three servings a day), because of the nutrients they provide: proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Each person can consult their specialist about the most suitable version for their needs (whole milk, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk). In case of lactose intolerance, it is recommended to test the tolerance to fermented dairy products such as yogurt and cheese or use lactose-free dairy products. Soy, oat, rice, or almond milk are not nutritionally equivalent.
