As little as we hear anything about calcium (atomic number 20 and atomic symbol Ca), it is very important in our lives. How is this important may you ask? For starters, it can help to combat cancer. Those who have a higher intake of calcium have a lower risk of getting colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, and breast cancer. Calcium bonds with acids to form what are known as calcium soaps. Calcium soaps help to protect the lining of the stomach which is helpful for preventing colorectal cancer. Also, calcium can prevent osteoporosis by strengthening your bones. Also, calcium will keep you slim and trim! As you can see, calcium has many benefits.
Calcium is a metal (more specifically an alkaline-earth metal). It was found in 1808 in England. This metal was found by Sir Humphrey Davy. Davy was considered one of Britain’s leading scientists. He was knighted in 1812. He invented the field of electrochemistry. He had found calcium as well as a few other elements.
Calcium is found in many foods we eat every day (that's why it's called calcYUM!). These foods include: milk, yogurt, cheese, broccoli, fish, and most grains, such as cereal and bread. It is in most heart healthy foods. This can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease if you take the proper amount. Who knew?

Would our health really decrease that much without calcium?
We don't believe calcium is the only way to treat/cure this cancer, are there any other ways to cure this cancer?
Calium affects your health in many ways. First, it prevents osteoporosis by strengthening your bones. Secondly, calcium is the key to the health of your teeth and bones. It also affects your muscles, hormones, nerve function, and the ability to form blood clots. As you can see, calcium has a variety of affects on your body.
As we stated in our original post calcium reduces the risk of getting colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, and breast cancer. We never stated that calcium was the only cure/treatment for these cancers.
"Those who have a higher intake of calcium have a lower risk of getting colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, and breast cancer." But men that have a higher intake of calcuim are more likley to have heart failure.
What type of cancer does it combat asnd how does it do so?
What type of cancer does it combat asnd how does it do so?
This is only a slight risk. The calcium suppliments may "feed" into the plaque in your arteries. If this slight chance does occur it can most likely(after time) cause heart attack or heart failure but it is only in the supplements of calcium in the research we found.
If you read above it will show the types of cancer. In our research, it never specifically stated how it reduced the risk but it showed in the experiments that those who had a higher calcium intake, did in fact have a lower risk for cancer.
What are the dangers of not getting enough Calcium?
How can it help combat cancer?
The dangers of not getting enough calcium are having weak bones. This can lead to diseases, mostly bone related, Such as Osteoporosis.
As we had stated above, throughout our extensive research we could not directly find how calcium helps to combat cancer, however in the studies and experiments, those with a higher intake had a lower risk of the cancers mentioned.
Calcium seems like it is important!
Well written !! Keep up the good work.
