CANCER, WOMEN AND VITAMIN D

[Guest guest]

Women across the world got some great news today.

 

Dr. Diane Feskanich of Harvard University reported women can significantly

reduce their risk of colon cancer by maintaining high vitamin D blood

levels. Women over the age of 60 with the highest vitamin D blood levels

had 1/2 the chance of developing cancer of the distal colon and rectum

compared to women with the lowest levels.

The news about breast cancer was even better. A Canadian group headed by

Dr. Berube discovered women can greatly reduce their risk of developing

abnormal breast densities, just by increasing their intake of vitamin D and

calcium. Women with the lowest vitamin D intake were four times more

likely to develop abnormalities on mammography than were women with the

highest intake.

Evidence linking vitamin D deficiency to numerous cancers is now

overwhelming. No wonder excitement is building for yet another NIH

sponsored conference on this remarkable molecule. The latest conference

will concentrate entirely on cancer and vitamin D and be held November 17-

19 on the NIH campus. It is being organized by ones of the world's

foremost authorities on vitamin D, Professor Tony Norman, of U.C.,

Riverside.

Remember, we are just a non-profit interested in spreading the word about

the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency.
