The Cancer Fighting Mineral Most Are Deficient In

An astounding 70% or more of Americans are deficient in the essential mineral magnesium. Low levels can have deadly effects.
Epidemiologic studies have suggested that low magnesium may be associated with higher rates of colorectal cancer among other diseases. Now a meta-analysis confirms that higher magnesium intakes are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer and especially colon cancer.
Researchers from Soochow University in China analyzed eight prospective studies covering 338,979 participants. Their results, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found the highest average intake of magnesium was associated with an 11% reduction in colorectal cancer risk compared to the lowest average intake.
In addition, the researchers found that for every 50 mg per day increase in magnesium, colon cancer was reduced by 7%.
The results are consistent with an earlier meta-analysis by Imperial College London and Wageningen University finding for every 100 mg increase in magnesium, colorectal cancer decreased by 13%.
Unfortunately, only about 20% of Americans get the recommended daily magnesium intake of 420 mg for men or 320 mg for women. And a deficiency can be debilitating.
Magnesium participates in over 300 known biochemical reactions in your body. Recent research from the human genome project reveals that 3,751 human proteins have binding sites for magnesium.
