It really shouldn't have any effect on the people consuming dairy products; the major impact of these studies is going to be getting the dairy industry to be more careful about what they feed their cows and when they milk them, etc. Some sensationalist news people are probably going to make a huge fuss over it like I did and then the industry and scientists are going to start arguing that the increased risk is so miniscule as to be negligent.
Man, a couple years ago as I was walking home from school they were handing out free cans of Monster from a truck by Fenway Park, and I took one; spent the train ride studying the ingredients--I didn't recognise at least half of them--and right after I got off at my stop I took a sip and was light-headed for like five minutes. Vile stuff, that. They should restrict it to ages 18 and up (really should be 21, but the college kids would lobby it down anyway).
Such random shit happens when scientists have too much free time. Biologists watch animals do it in the woods, chemists start blowing shit up, physicists invent the atom bomb...
I just really love how highbrow intellectual science journals get hate mail. And the letters are so catty, it's hilarious.
