Calcium Reduces Cancer Rate in Women

Sunday, March 15, 2009  -  Byron Richards, CCN

A total intake of 1300 mg calcium1 (food and supplements total) offers women statistically significant protection from all forms of cancer.  In both men and women higher calcium intake was associated with less digestive and colon cancer.

Calcium plays multiple roles in metabolism.  It helps your nerves energize correctly, even turning off signals in your brain that would otherwise cause food cravings.  It helps to buffer acidity, in your blood and in your digestive tract.  An inappropriate acid pH around your body may set the stage for cancers of various types.  In your digestive tract calcium helps bind bile acids and fatty acids – promoting colon health.

Calcium is your friend.  Ensure you get adequate dietary and high-quality supplemental calcium for your health.
