Can women get leukemia if they drink raw milk for a long time

Long term consumption of raw milk by women generally does not directly lead to leukemia. The occurrence of leukemia is related to various complex factors such as genetic factors, ionizing radiation, chemical exposure, viral infections, etc. Raw milk is not a known pathogenic factor.

Raw milk is fresh milk that has not been sterilized at high temperatures and is rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins. Drinking it in moderation can help supplement nutrition. However, it should be noted that raw milk may carry pathogens such as Brucella, and there is a risk of infection without sterilization treatment. It is recommended to choose dairy products that have undergone pasteurization or ultra-high temperature sterilization, which can retain nutrients and reduce food safety hazards. Maintaining a balanced diet in daily life and avoiding excessive intake of single foods are more conducive to maintaining health. In rare cases, if raw milk is contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals such as benzene during production and transportation, long-term and large intake may increase health risks. But this situation is an extreme case, and dairy products sold through regular channels have strict quality inspection standards. Preventing leukemia should pay more attention to avoiding exposure to radiation, reducing exposure to harmful chemicals such as benzene, and maintaining regular sleep patterns to identify the pathogenic factors. Women can prioritize safe dairy products such as sterilized milk, yogurt, and cheese for daily calcium supplementation, and pair them with calcium rich foods such as soy products and dark green vegetables. If abnormal symptoms such as persistent fever, anemia, and lymphadenopathy occur, timely medical examination should be sought, rather than simply attributed to dietary habits. Maintaining a diverse dietary structure and regular physical examinations are the key to preventing diseases.
