“…Logically, tumours of the rectum may therefore respond differently to dietary exposures than the colon. It has been previously shown that dietary Ca and vitamin D intakes have stronger inverse correlation with rectal cancer risk as opposed to cancers originating from the proximal colon (42,43) . Reasoning behind this association is still under investigation.…”

“…Reasoning behind this association is still under investigation. There have been some data (43,44) , including from our own research group (45) , suggesting this relationship may be modulated by variations in the vitamin D receptor which correlates with improved rectal cancer survival. However, the exact mechanism remains undetermined and should be considered as a focus in future studies.…”

“…As other dairy foods, cheese offers many of the same health benefits that are attributed to a high concentration of Ca, vitamin A, B 12 , Zn and P. However, cheese is additionally rich in fatty acids and whey protein. Some common fatty acids in cheese, such as conjugated linoleic acid and phytanic acid, have been shown to inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells (42,43) . As well, several bioactive peptides produced in the hydrolysis of proteins in cheese manufacture have demonstrated potentially beneficial, biological activities including antioxidant, antitumour, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects (43) .…”

Prediagnostic consumption of vitamin D, calcium and dairy products and colorectal cancer survival: results from the Newfoundland Colorectal Cancer Registry Cohort Study

Vitamin D, calcium, and dairy products are negatively associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence, but little is known of their influence on CRC survival. To investigate prediagnostic intakes of vitamin D, calcium, and dairy products for their relevance to CRC prognosis, we analyzed 504 CRC patients enrolled in the Newfoundland Familial Colorectal Cancer Study who were diagnosed for the first time with CRC between 1999 and 2003. Followed-up for mortality and cancer recurrence was through April 2010. Data on diet and lifestyle factors were gathered via a validated, semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire and a Personal History Questionnaire. Multivariate Cox models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the relationship of prediagnostic intakes of vitamin D, calcium, and dairy products with all-cause mortality (overall survival, OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among CRC patients. We found that prediagnostic calcium intake from foods, but not total calcium intake, was negatively associated with all-cause mortality (HR for Q2 vs. Q1, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.26-0.75). An inverse relationship was also seen in a dose-response fashion for prediagnostic cheese intake (HR for Q4 vs. Q1, 0.57, 95% CI, 0.34-0.95, P trend=0.029). No evidence for modification by sex, physical activity, alcohol drinking, and cigarette smoking was observed. In summary, high prediagnostic intakes of cheese and calcium from foods may be associated with increased survival among CRC patients. By manipulating diet, this study may contribute to the development of novel therapies that add to the armamentarium against CRC. Replication studies are required before any nutritional interventions are made available.

“…However, cheese is high in salt and SFA, which current dietary guidelines recommend reducing (Siri-Tarino and Krauss, 2016). Cheese may also increase cholesterol, increasing risk factors for atherosclerosis (O'Brien and O'Connor, 2017). This may be in part the motivation behind the 17% of respondents who indicated they decreased cheese intake due to dietary concerns.…”

Cheese is a widely consumed product in American diets and an important economic driver of US dairy markets. Given the widespread interest in credence attributes of fluid dairy products, the lack of knowledge of demand for animal welfare, environmental, and other credence attributes in cheeses is surprising. Increasing attention surrounding dairy cattle welfare has been placed on the disbudding or dehorning of dairy cattle, in addition to the longer term debates surrounding pasture access and antibiotic use. This work estimates willingness to pay for these attributes of dairy cattle management systems for Cheddar cheese in a nationally representative sample of 749 US household members. Ninety percent of respondents indicated they or someone in their household consumed cheese in the last year. Higher proportions of respondents with children in the household purchased cheese of any kind. Respondents had positive willingness to pay for Cheddar cheese that had the following attributes: USDA-, retailer-, and industry-verified antibiotic use not permitted, required pasture access, and dehorning with pain relief as well as polled (when compared with dehorning without pain relief). As dairy producers face tighter margins and shifting consumer preferences, increasing attention on consumer preferences for cheese may aid in increasing profitability if demanded attributes can be profitability provided.
