Is Non-fact milk dangerous?

I was surprised to see a new article stating that nonfat and low-fat milk seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer. Considering the movement to supply only low-fat milk in schools, this study raises a concern that we are doing harm while trying to do good.

A quick search revealed that a similar study was done ten years ago!
"A significantly increased risk of prostate cancer was associated with skim milk as compared to whole milk."

Veierod MB, Laake P, Thelle DS., 'Dietary fat intake and risk of prostate cancer: a prospective study of 25,708 Norwegian men.', Int J Cancer 1997 Nov 27;73(5):634-8


I also found a list of numerous studies linking high consumption of milk to prostate cancer.
