A large study of nearly half a million people, that older men and women who consume large quantities of food, milk and calcium were reduced risk for the development of digestive tract cancer , especially colorectal cancer. The results have reignited a long simmering debate on the potential of calcium in the fight against colon cancer. Among women, a picture was taken calcium in conjunction with a decreased risk of cancer as a whole and in the study.
Previous studies have produced mixed results regarding the link between calcium and colon cancer.
The final report, an observational study in which researchers check the nutrition profiles of possible links to cancer, was admitted Monday in the Archives of Internal Medicine. These studies are not as reliable as randomized controlled studies comparing treatment in a group with a placebo in the same category. “Our main result is that increased calcium in combination with a reduced risk of cancer of the digestive system,” said Dr. Park Yikyung first author, a cancer epidemiologinÄ—s the National Cancer Institute, who pointed out that the current recommendations of food to consume calcium to promote bone health, do not prevent cancer.
“Our study is a study,” she added. “We need to tackle other studies for confirmation of knowledge.”
The study examined the relationship between milk and calcium recording and cancer among 293,907 men and 198,903 women between 50 and 71, the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study. Participants complete a questionnaire plan, if enrolled in the mid-1990s and finds the number of times they consume milk and other foodstuffs, and whether it added. Researchers and participants with cancer registry records to new cancer cases by 2003.
After seven years of follow-up, researchers found 36,965 cases of cancer among men and 16,605 for women. The researchers found that men who reported consuming the most calcium, about 1500 mg per day, there is a risk 16% lower for cancers of the digestive system than those who consumed the lowest amount approximately 500 milligrams per day.
Women more milk and calcium had a lower risk 23% for colon cancer, researchers found, compared to women with the lowest intake of calcium.
Scientists have found no link between calcium intake and risk of cancer among men, but finds that women with lower risk of cancer in general, if it makes the high calcium intake to 1300 mg day. There were no additional benefits with larger amounts.
Researchers have been adjustments to the database to ensure there are no other factors, rates of cancer, because those who consume higher amounts of calcium rather blanks college educated and a physical activity and less smoking and drinking alcohol.
In 2006, a randomized clinical study, controlled, part of the Women’s Health Initiative found no evidence for the hypothesis that calcium prevents colon cancer.
But Dr. JoAnn Manson, one of the most important, the investigators of the study and director of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, if the cumulative weight indicates, calcium plays an important role in preventing of colon cancer, the assessment that some studies have shown, calcium, in conjunction with the appearance precancerous polyps of the colon.
The test may not be the past have had an impact, because the study population was generally well nourished, and many women in both groups had a high level of calcium and dairy home, “she says.
But it finds that vitamin D, which are often consumed with calcium, the central player in cancer prevention and should be a priority of the current study.
“All the evidence in the sum is consistent with the benefit of dairy products and total calcium in the prevention of colon cancer,” she says. “But these studies is not really the impact of calcium and vitamin D.”
Experts that there is a plausible biological explanation, such as calcium may colorectal cancer. Calcium, increasing the number of abnormal cells in the gastrointestinal tract, said Dr. Park As calcium binds to bile and fatty acids, damage to the lining of the colon, she said.
Dairy Foods, are also rich in other potentially antikanzerogene nutrients, including vitamin D, and conjugated linoleic acid.
The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults age 50 and over consume 1200 mg of calcium per day, because they contribute to bone health.
