Senior author Colin R. Dunstan, PhD, and his colleagues theorized that since a strong skeleton is less receptive to metastasizing cancer cells, dietary calcium might help prevent the spread of cancer to bones. Dr. Dunstan and his team used a mouse model of breast cancer metastasis and found that a simple calcium deficiency increased the tendency of breast cancer to go to bone. Their findings were published in the Oct. 1, 2007 issue of Cancer Research (Zheng 2007). http://www.cancerdecisions.com/100707.html Ralph Moss article, Oct 2007 Calcium and Bone Mets article LINK to Ralph Moss article October 2007 Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training.
