Calcium is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, including bone strength and muscle function. While studies have explored the potential link between Calcium intake and decreased risk of certain types of cancer, including Ovarian cancer there is currently limited evidence to support a direct causal relationship. However, some research suggests that a higher intake of dietary Calcium may have a protective effect against Ovarian cancer
One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that increased consumption of dietary Calcium was associated with a modest reduction in Ovarian cancer risk among postmenopausal women. Another study conducted in China reported similar findings, indicating a potential inverse association between dietary Calcium intake and Ovarian cancer risk. However, it is important to note that these studies predominantly rely on self-reported dietary data, which can be subject to bias and inaccuracies.
