Breast Cancer and High Bone Density:
Overlooked Links
In addition to blood
clots, numerous studies show that patients with breast cancer
also have higher than normal bone density. While we know that
low bone density is problematic and can lead to fractures, perhaps
having very dense bones is not an indicator for an ideal state
of health either.
Studies linking high
bone mineral density to breast cancer include:
Aspirin and Lower
Bone Densities
Aspirin, which as noted
in the preceding sections, is preventative against blood clots
and breast cancer, and blocks vitamin K, has also been shown to
reduce bone mass in rats. In a 1986 study, researchers studied
the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) on bone metabolism
in young male rats. The results indicated "an inhibitory
effect of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) on bone resorption and formation
in growing rats."
