'Calcium may offer protection against colorectal cancer through possible biological mechanisms. One study suggested that calcium binds secondary bile acids and fatty acids in the colonic lumen, thereby diminishing the potential proliferative stimulus of these compounds on the colonic mucosa. Calcium may also reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by direct effects on cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.'
