Roman Bystrianyk, "Magnesium May Reduce Colorectal Cancer", Health Sentinel, February 15, 2005, According to the American College of Gastroenterology, colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States, causing an estimated 57,000 deaths each year. A study in the January 5, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), examines the relationship between magnesium and the occurrence of colorectal cancer in women. The study was based on a population of over 61,000 women aged 40 to 75 years. The study analysis occurred over nearly 15 years. It examined the risk of developing colorectal cancer between the group with the highest magnesium intake compared with the group with the lowest magnesium intake. The authors found that, "intake of magnesium was inversely associated with both colon and rectal cancer." Magnesium is required for a wide variety of biological functions. Magnesium is essential for DNA repair, and plays a role in cell reproduction and replication, both of which have a relationship to cancer. Supplementation of magnesium in animals has been shown to reduce the incidence of colon cancer. Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining the antioxidant status of the cell and studies have shown that animals deficient in magnesium display an increased vulnerability to oxidative stress. Magnesium can be consumed through the diet. Approximately 50 mg/day of magnesium can be found in 1 small serving of spinach, 1 large banana, 1 serving of cooked oatmeal, 2 slices of whole grain bread, or half a serving of beans. The study authors conclude that, "this population based cohort study of women suggested that a high magnesium intake may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. While our findings require confirmation by other large well-designed studies, they support potential benefits of increasing consumption of major foods contributing to magnesium intake, including fruits and vegetables, whole grain foods, and beans in reducing colorectal cancer incidence. However, the efficiency and safety of magnesium supplementation for the prevention of colorectal cancer needs to be specifically addressed in a randomized trial." SOURCE: JAMA, January 5, 2005 |
