Calcium in the diet of most women suffering from ovarian cancer than the lowest 54% of the small, despite the need to further study to confirm that diet may be particularly useful components.

“These conclusions show that intake of low-fat milk, calcium or lactose may reduce the risk of suffering from ovarian cancer,” the United States at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu Goodman (marc t. Goodman) and that of my colleagues: women’s daily recommended amount of calcium intake 1000mg ~ 1200mg may be enough to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. “As part of the overall health of women are recommended to monitor the level of daily dietary calcium intake to reduce osteoporosis and other diseases related to the risk. If women can maintain the recommended calcium intake, there is another advantage is likely to reduce Their risk of suffering from ovarian cancer. ”

Goodman and colleagues gathered 558 patients with ovarian cancer and 607 healthy women, diet, lifestyle, hormone use, reproductive history of the disease and a number of data. “American Journal of Epidemiology” (american journal of epidemiology 2002; 156:148-157) reported that the consumption of low-fat dairy products, including skim milk and the largest number of women, no matter what race, the least likely to suffer from ovarian cancer, but the drink With the whole milk did not reduce the risk. Consumer and yogurt, cheese or ice cream also has nothing to do with the risk of ovarian cancer. Higher intake of calcium and lactose - the main components of dairy products, appears to be suffering from ovarian cancer risk was also small (lactose may increase the absorption of calcium, a tumor suppressor to promote the growth of bacteria).

This conclusion, if other studies confirm that women may be provided to lower ovarian cancer risk of this terrible disease. Despite the early treatment of this disease in a very effective, but early diagnosis is difficult, partly because of abdominal pain like symptoms may represent many of the problems, and once the cancer spread to other parts of the 5-year survival rate is only 29%. “Despite the very interesting conclusion, we can not rule out the calcium and lactose in milk products represent are not found in other ingredients may be.” Another conclusion is that, fat, carbohydrates and proteins, the total calorie intake has nothing to do with ovarian cancer.
