http://www.reutershealth.com/en/index.htmlMen with high levels of calcium and dairy foods in their diet have a lower risk of colorectal cancer, research suggests.
Recent studies have generally reported a "modest inverse association between calcium intake and the risk of colorectal cancer," Dr. Susanna C. Larsson, of Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, and colleagues note in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "However, findings pertaining to specific subsites in the colorectum have been conflicting."

The colorectal cancer risk for men in the highest quartile of total calcium intake was 32 percent lower than men in the lowest quartile. A high intake of dairy food was also associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer. Milk consumption had the strongest inverse association with colorectal cancer.
