Calcium has many
effects in the body: calcification of bone tissue, muscle contraction, transmission
of information in the nervous system, etc. American researchers have now proven
that calcium also offers protection against colon cancer.
protection
With more than 130,000 men and women for a long time (10-16 years) to follow, they can demonstrate that persons daily more than 1,250 mg of calcium intakes, 35% lower risk of colon cancer than people who are less than 500 mg of calcium per day doses. The results were even more pronounced in men who smoked, but the beneficial effect was restricted to the distal part of the colon (the part closest to the anus). Calcium supplements in people whose diet is not more than 700 mg of calcium per day yielded , reduced the risk by 48% compared with those not took calcium supplements. This means that the effect manifests itself within the recommended daily amounts and that it makes no sense to take larger quantities.

Everywhere in the diet
this study underlines once more the importance of the dietary comply. The recommended daily amount of calcium is 1000-1400 mg / day in adults. Dairy products (cheese, milk, yogurt, etc.) contain a lot of calcium; calcium is to a lesser extent in fruits, vegetables, grains and drink water. 300 mg of calcium (or a quarter of the daily requirement) may be provided by: - 1/4 l milk 2 pots of yoghurt 300 g-30 g Emmental cheese or melted Camembert cheese 80 g-1 kg-1 green cabbage oranges site of the Belgian Federation against Cancer
