Consuming Calcium-Rich Foods Reduces Risk Of Bowel Cancer

Consuming Calcium-Rich Foods Reduces Risk Of Bowel Cancer
SHARE

A recent study has found that consuming a diet rich in calcium can significantly reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer. The research, funded by Cancer Research U.K., analyzed data from over half a million women over 16 years, with 12,251 of them developing bowel cancer during the study period. The results showed that those who had higher calcium intake in their diets were less likely to be diagnosed with bowel cancer compared to those with lower intakes.

Lead researcher, Dr. Keren Papier, highlighted the importance of calcium in preventing bowel cancer, stating that each 300mg of calcium consumed daily resulted in a 17% lower risk of developing the disease. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese, as well as green leafy vegetables and fortified plant-based milk alternatives such as soy.

The protective effect of calcium against bowel cancer is believed to be due to its ability to bind to bile acids and free fatty acids, forming a harmless ‘soap’ that prevents damage to the gut lining. On the other hand, consuming high amounts of red meat, especially processed red meat, has been linked to an increased risk of developing bowel cancer.

While the study focused on women with an average age of 60, the researchers believe that the findings are likely applicable to men and younger individuals as well. With the global rise in bowel cancer cases, including a concerning increase in young people, early screening is recommended for individuals over 45 years old to improve outcomes.

In conclusion, the link between calcium intake and bowel cancer risk highlighted in this study adds to the growing body of evidence on the importance of dietary choices in preventing cancer. By incorporating calcium-rich foods into their diets, individuals can potentially reduce their risk of developing bowel cancer and promote overall health and well-being.
