I found a short piece in the newspaper:

"Drinking milk may protect against breast cancer.  Doctors in Finland
say they are still not sure why, but suspect nutrients such as
lactose and calcium have a protective effect.  Attention is also
focused on conjugated linoleic acid, which is present in high
concentrations in milk fat.  Animal experiments have shown CLA
suppresses mammary tumours."

I assume this refers to adults drinking milk, and noted that they
did not specify the milk of any particular species.  Anyone heard
anything about this?
