Some alternative foods source (usually plants) that you can find in nature, can use to replace meal diets to obtains some or more nutrients.

For example: green leafy vegetables and legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) contain calcium, and are also rich in fiber and other nutrients that protect against cancer.

You'll also find plenty of calcium in supplements like fortified soy milk. Calcium-fortified juices are now widely available in market. However, it is important to remember that increased calcium intake may be one of the reasons why milk is linked to prostate cancer (because high calcium intakes interfere with vitamin D activation).
You can find more info in Prostate Cancer post.

Therefore, you should be consider equally cautious about any product that is extremely high in calcium (like fortified foods or supplements). In my suggestion,
green leafy vegetables and beans are your best calcium sources. They have adequate
calcium, but not excessive amounts. :)

We need calcium to preventing the bone-thinning condition or osteoporosis.
However, dairy industry has pushed drinking milk as calcium sources for preventing osteoporosis, but studies show that the strategy is largely useless.

Let me explain in more details regarding my fact from medical source:
"Researchers at Pennsylvania State University found that, in girls in their
peak bone-building years (ages 12 to 18). Getting extra calcium made no difference at all in bone growth. Exercise worked very well to foster bone growth, but extra calcium did not.

Similarly, in the Nurses?Health Study,a group of nearly 78,000 women followed for 12 years showed that dairy calcium didn't help bone strength at all.
Women who got the most calcium from dairy sources actually had nearly double the hip fracture rates, compared to those who got little or no dairy calcium."


So, my question is,
How do I protect my bones? Does i has any alternatives to replace milk as calcium source?

Well, here are the answers to you:

1) Exercise:
Exercise strengthens bones noticeably.

2) Vitamin D:
From sunlight or vitamin supplements ?helps keep bones strong.

3) Fruits and vegetables provide vitamin C to build collagen, which forms the
basic network of tissue within your bones.

This post is answer to my last post Some Fact about Daily Product - Milk.
First,to understand why dairy products might play a role in cancer, we need to re-call some of scientific facts.

Milk is produced by mothers to support the rapid growth of their newborns.
Mother milk contains plenty of protein, fat, and sugar (lactose), as well as dozens of hormones and other natural chemical substances that direct infants?growth and development.

But, milk are differs from species to species, generally to say cow's milk is for cow and quite different in its nutrient profile from human milk. However, humans began to consume milk taken from cows and a few other mammals and mother milk become
less important as we use cow's milk as alternative replacement.

When humans drink cow's milk, it causes some worrisome biological changes in the body, one of which is a rise in the amount of insulin,like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the bloodstream.

What is IGF-I?
IGF-I is a powerful stimulus for cancer cell growth.
In lab test , when breast cancer cells are mixed with IGF-I in a test tube, cancer cells grow rapidly.

When our body with higher levels of IGF-I in our blood are at significantly higher risk for prostate and premenopausal breast cancer compared to those with lower levels.

Researchers believe that milk may influence cancer risk is by increasing the amount of IGF-I in the blood. Individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer may be quite right to be concerned that milk drinking boosts IGF-I levels in their bloodstreams which can encourage cancer cell growth. Beside that, milk may cause other chemical changes in the body as well, some of which relate to specific types of cancer.

Generally speaking, these mechanisms relate not only to the likelihood that cancer will strike, but also to how rapidly it will grow and spread once it has occurred.


Summary :
Milk-drinkers have more IGF-I in their bloodstreams. IGF-I is a powerful stimulus for cancer cell growth.

Most of the people grow up with milk as daily product, we all believe that milk is a healthful beverage, and of cause the dairy industry has certainly done its best to promote the milk.

However, i have some shocking news for all of you, that researchers seeking to understand why people following Western diets tend to have high cancer rates. Therefore they believe that cancer causing products not only at meat and other fatty foods, but also at dairy products.

I found some interest news from internet saying that:
"In 1998, Harvard researchers reported findings in a large group of health professionals. Those who typically had more than two servings of milk per day had a 60 percent increased risk of prostate cancer, compared to those who generally avoided milk.

Two years later, another Harvard study on a separate large group of men showed much the same thing - milk-drinkers had significantly more prostate cancer.

Many other studies have had similar findings, and researchers have also examined the role of dairy products?
positive or negative in other forms of cancer."


I believe most of us that read this post may has some question: :(

1) What is all this about?
2) Why should dairy products influence cancer risk?
3) Is the problem due to hormones or other chemicals in milk, or is it due to the
basic nutrient makeup of - its fat or protein, perhaps?
4) What does this mean for people who have been diagnosed with cancer already?
5) If milk does have health risks, what do we replace it with?
6) Etc...
