Full Version: Do Men Need More Calcium?
Patricia
Guys, you need to bone up on your calcium totals, too. Osteoporosis occurs far more often in women, and since increasing calcium intake is one way to lower risk, its often framed as a "women's issue". But men also have good reasons to maintain optimal calcium intake. Many studies suggest that calcium helps regulate blood pressure. Other research suggests that dietary calcium lowers the risk of colon cancer, the third leading cancer for both men and women. Intake for men should not exceed 2,000 mg. per day. as a recent study linked elevated levels with increased risk of prostate cancer.
