Oops sometimes these threads can go off in strange directions.
@Pearl do have any links to what you have read that suggests that dairy or soy increase our cancer risks? Everything I have read agrees with my doctors advice to have 3 serves of dairy per day - mainly to keep my calcium levels up to reduce the osteoporosis risk that comes with taking Arimidex.
I was in a study last year Women's Wellness After Cancer and as well as promoting dairy for increased calcium they advocated having 2 serves of soy per day as some recent studies have indicated it could reduce cancer risks.
