Even more bad news about cow’s milk.  Not only are dairy cattle
contaminating rivers and streams, but now:

Cataracts

There is also increasing evidence of a link between milk consumption and
cataracts. According to scientific studies, human populations that
consume large amounts of dairy products have a higher incidence of
cataracts than do those that avoid dairy products.

It is the galactose in milk which is suspected to be causing the
problems. High levels of it in the blood stream have been
associated with the formation of cataracts.10 Galactose has also been
implicated in cancer of the ovary. Women with the disease have been
shown to have a history of greater consumption of dairy products,
particularly yogurt, compared to women without ovarian cancer.
