Colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes share many risk factors, and insulin resistance appears to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers used the concentration of plasma C-peptide (an indicator of insulin production) to determine whether insulin and insulin resistance are associated with the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Blood plasma samples were collected between 1982 and 1984 from nearly 15,000 cancer-free men participating in the Physicians' Health Study. Compared to the 294 matched noncancer control subjects, the 176 men who developed colorectal cancer tended to have higher levels of C-peptide, indicating higher production of insulin. Men with the highest C-peptide levels had a 2.7-fold increased risk of colon cancer compared to those with the lowest levels. The results of this study indicate that elevated insulin production may help predict the risk of developing colon cancer, independent of other insulin-resistance related factors. 

The researchers acknowledged that these results support the argument that avoiding or reducing modifiable risk factors, such as obesity, inactivity and poor diet, could effectively decrease the risk of colorectal cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Calcium - Not just for bones

It is nearly impossible to open the newspaper or watch television without hearing about the growing incidence of childhood obesity. The latest federal  statistics show that the prevalence of being overweight has increased by 100 percent among U.S. teens in the last two decades. And almost 14 million children (24 percent of the population aged 2 to 17) are obese, with an additional 8.6 million children at risk for obesity.  

But the answer to the weight epidemic isn't restrictive or fad diets. A recent study conducted by researchers from Harvard examined the eating habits of nearly 15,000 girls and boys between the ages of 9 -14 for three years and found that kids who dieted actually gained more weight on average than those who didn't. The dieters gained an average of two additional pounds per year compared to the non-dieters. What's needed are lifestyle changes. Teaching teens and preteens how to eat nutritiously, increase exercise and cut down on TV and computer time are much better avenues to lifelong weight control.  

In addition to lifestyle changes, calcium intake appears to play a specific role in regulating body fat. Data from six observational studies and three controlled trials reveal a consistent effect of higher calcium intakes, expressed as lower body fat and/or body weight, and reduced weight gain at midlife. Similarly, studies relating nutrient intake to body composition report that reduced body weight at midlife and decreased body fat accumulation during childhood are associated with greater intakes of calcium. There is a fairly consistent effect size, with each 300 mg (one typical dairy serving) increment in regular calcium intake associated with approximately 1 kg less body fat in children and 2.5-3.0 kg lower body weight in adults. Taken together these data suggest that increasing calcium intake by the equivalent of two dairy servings per day could reduce the risk of overweight substantially, perhaps by as much as 70 percent.

Calcium is not just for strong bones. When added to a lifestyle of nutritious eating and increased activity, calcium intake may be a simple way to assist in reducing the incidence of childhood and midlife obesity.
