Calcium and Prostate Cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

We have previously discussed an association between milk consumption

and prostate cancer. The following 2006 paper examines the

association between calcium intake and advanced prostate cancer in the

Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

" Our findings suggest that calcium intakes exceeding 1,500 mg/d may be

associated with a decrease in differentiation in prostate cancer and

ultimately with a higher risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer

but not with well-differentiated, organ-confined cancers. "
