Ca(2+) — increases prostate cancer incidence
Evidence strength: very limited.Findingreplicated ×1“Men in the highest quartile of total calcium intake (> 1059 mg/day) had a more than two-fold increased risk of prostate cancer (advanced or localized) vs. men in the lowest quartile (<488 mg/day) (OR = 2.20, 95% CI= 1.40, 3.46, p for trend= 0.01).”
