Drinking just two cups of milk a day 'can increase the risk of breast cancer in women by up to 80%'

NHS recommends adults consume lots of cow's milk because it's rich in calcium

But Californian researchers say treat these guidelines 'with caution' after study 

They looked at 53,000 women over eight years and found worrying association

Third of a cup, equivalent of a small latte, associated with a 30% increased risk

For those drinking two to three cups per day, it soared to between 70 and 80 per cent.

While the study was an observational one and cannot prove a cause, scientists believe a hormone present in cow's milk may be to blame.

Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease in the UK and US, blighting the lives of around 55,000 British women every year and 276,000 Americans.

'Consuming as little as a quarter to a third cup of dairy milk per day was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer of 30 per cent.

'By drinking up to one cup per day, the associated risk went up to 50 per cent, and for those drinking two to three cups per day, the risk increased further to 70 per cent to 80 per cent.
