Excessive consumption of calcium Raise Prostate Cancer Risk



Results from a study published in medical journals of The International Journal of Cancer has indicated that there is a link between diets with high calcium content with prostate cancer risk.

N. Dr.Panagiota Notrou from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Maryland and colleagues found an association of prostate cancer risk increased with increasing consumption of processed food intake of animal products like milk, cheese, eggs, butter and others.

To investigate further the researchers conducting research and observation using data and medical records obtained from the cancer prevention study using alpha-tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC), to assess the level of calcium intake and its relation to risk of prostate cancer.

ATBC research that included 29 133 Finnish male smokers nationals with a range of 50 to 69 years of age who completed a question sheet about 276 kinds of foods to determine their eating habits when the study began.

After a period of 17 years went by the research team found as many as 1267 cases of prostate cancer from a total of 27 028, those who filled out thoroughly also included in the final analysis.

"We found a strong causal relationship between calcium intake with prostate cancer risk," said research team.

After adjusting the data to a number of important variables is found in prostate cancer risk by 63% greater for those who consume more than 2000 mg of calcium compared with men who received a calcium intake of less than 1000 mg per day, it is seen that statistical differences striking.

A clear linkage that also observed a total animal protein intake with prostate cancer risk but it becomes unclear when eliminating the influence of other words kalsium.Dengan usnur close relationship between fat derived from animal fat with prostate cancer into autumn when the element calcium is removed.

Those researchers also say that scanning using prostate specific antigen (PSA), a compound that becomes the marker for prostate cancer.

"Because most of the cases we found was meriupakan findings of clinical symptoms," said Nitrou and his team explain.

"It also reduces errors in the detection of prostate cancer."
