Answer 1

Yes, you do need calcium, from 800 mg to 1200 mg a day.

With prostate cancer there is some evidence that getting enough calcium helps prevent prostate cancer. There is also evidence that too much calcium may contribute to prostate cancer. If a person gets prostate cancer one of the most likely places it spreads is to the bones, particularly in the lower back, and them calcium is given to treat the symptoms because the cancer leaches the calcium from the bones, greatly increasing the chances of a fracture.

I hope this is of some hlep.

Answer 2

No, it is not true.
Getting enough calcium throughout life is a central factor in preventing osteoporosis, the bone-thinning disease that leads to a higher risk of hip and vertebrae fractures, spinal deformities, and loss of height. The body is best equipped to absorb calcium and build up bone mass before age 35, but it's never too late to increase your intake of it. Several studies show that even in people over age 65, taking calcium supplements and eating calcium-rich foods help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.

By limiting the irritating effects of bile acids in the colon, calcium may reduce the incidence of colon cancer. Other research indicates that diets that include plenty of calcium—as well as fruits and vegetables—may actually help lower blood pressure as much as some prescription medications do.

P.S.
Avoid calcium supplements made from dolomite, oyster shells, or bonemeal because these compounds may contain unacceptable levels of lead.

Answer 3

That's nonsense. If you don't eat any dairy products you will need a Calcium supplement. A connection with prostate cancer is not established.
