You can thank animal protein/dairy for this.
“Research suggests that following a plant-based diet may reduce your risk of certain types of cancer.”

“A study in over 76,000 people found that following a healthy plant-based diet could be associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.”
Yeah these studies don't in any way substantiate the conclusion, "You can thank animal protein/dairy for this." That's a gross misunderstanding of the actual conclusions drawn in each of them. That Healthline article also draws/implies false conclusions from the studies it cites.
I'm citing zero evidence here, but what has changed over time (meat and dairy have been consumed and in some cases even heavily relied upon for tens of thousands of years) is exposure to the plastics and other petroleum derivatives that now pervade our environments.
Yep, plastic can be an endocrine disruptor which can have all sorts of long term consequences
