Good news! The short answer is a resounding no.

However, according to some studies, saturated fat may have a mild association to an increased risk of breast cancer. And high fat diets are linked to higher rates of obesity, which is a substantial risk factor for breast cancer.
Although cow milk consumption generally doesn’t increase risk for breast cancer, a 2002 and 2013 study both claimed fat content does make a difference. Scientists say among the premenopausal women, high intake of low-fat dairy foods, especially skim/low-fat milk, reduces risk of breast cancer. So, feel free to have cow milk whenever you want, but choose low-fat when possible.
