Calcium and Friends
You may have heard before about the role of calcium in reducing the risk of colon cancer. New research reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this month affirms this role, concluding that “the risk of colon cancer from all regions of the colon and rectum decreased according to increased total dairy food consumption.”
Researchers also noted the need to consider the potential beneficial effect of other nutrients in dairy products. That is so true… nutrients do not occur in nature in isolation, do they? There is a whole complement of compounds in any natural food source, some of which we have not yet even identified!
That’s why, when we’re using supplements to provide the nutritional support that our current food supply can’t provide, it is SO important to be sure that the supplements we use include and preserve these additional compounds as found in nature. Presumably because of the expense and scientific prowess required to do so, many supplement manufacturers, unfortunately, do not.
