The number of patients with prostate cancer are higher in Western countries than in Asia. Some experts believe it happened, because the Western people consume more dairy products than Asians. Some research found that men with diets containing a lot of dairy products, including derivatives products such as cheese and butter, has a higher risk of prostate cancer. However, other studies on the relationship of dairy products, calcium and prostate cancer provides a different conclusion. Generally, the study was conducted in Western countries. However, new research published in the journal Cancer Research, by Lesley Butler, studying the impact of calcium consumption in Chinese men in Singapore. They get their calcium from vegetables, wheat, soybeans and only slightly from dairy products. Butler and his colleagues track the health of more than 27,000 Singapore Chinese men who participated in the long-term study. "In fact, we still see an increase risk of prostate cancer the same magnitude in the group with lower calcium levels," he said. Those with low body weight to absorb calcium, including calcium in milk, more than those with higher body weight. Those with low body weight to absorb calcium, including calcium in milk, more than those with higher body weight. Men with the greatest amount of calcium in their diets two times greater risk of prostate cancer, than those who eat less calcium. This difference is approximately equal to the difference between high and low calcium intake in the studies in Western countries. However, this result is only significant in male group with weight below the average. According to Butler, it may be caused by metabolic skinny guy who makes it easier to absorb calcium than men who are obese. In general, the average prostate cancer in the group of high calcium and low body mass index is still about half the average in America. Butler proposes further study because a study is not enough to know the role of calcium in prostate cancer.
