Harvard warns of high calcium-prostate cancer link

 

According to an 11-year study recently completed by researchers from

Harvard University Medical School, too much dietary calcium can increase

men's risk of developing prostate cancer. The study found a correlation

between the incidence of prostate cancer and dairy intake, with

participants facing a 34% greater risk of developing the disease if they

were among the top 20% of dairy products consumers. The researchers

concluded, " These findings may serve to interject a note of caution into

the current enthusiastic promotion of a higher intake of calcium in the

US. " However, Dr. June Chanl, lead author of the report, told

HealthWorld, " This is a 'head's up' rather than the sounding of an

alarm. " Justfood.com, September 25, 2001.
