Magnesium lowers colorectal cancer risk

Dietary magnesium might be related to colorectal tumor risk through the pivotal roles of magnesium in cellular metabolism, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation, according to a study in the August issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers evaluated the hypothesis of whether higher dietary magnesium intake is associated with reduced colorectal tumor risk. In a study on colorectal adenomas (768 cases; 709 polyp-free control subjects), every 100-mg per day increase in magnesium intake was associated with 13% lower risk of colorectal adenomas and 12% lower risk of colorectal cancer. The findings support the hypothesis that higher intakes of dietary magnesium are associated with lower risk of colorectal tumors. The consumption of magnesium-rich foods and supplements should be a new avenue to explore further in the search for cancer-prevention strategies.

Bonnie and Steve: maybe a new avenue of research for the authors of this study, but not for Nutritional Concepts!
