Vitamin D Prevents Cancer: Is It True?

In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium.

You make a very good point---never once is D3 mentioned by the society, or doctors. We're always told to protect ourselves from chemicals in our home, our food, everyday products, yet when an individual is diagnosed with cancer,they deliberately put all kinds of dangerous,toxic chemicals into these peoples' systems.

Don't you get your vitamin d from sunshine-at least when the wankers aren't trying to block it with chem-trail clouds

Vit D isn't supposed to be obtained through diet. I'm all for eating healthy but it's made in response to sun exposure. Besides, in my opinion, there are no "heathy" foods containing Vit D.

[Marcoosianism]

Because beef liver, butterfat and oily fish are disease PROmoting. Besides they don't contain enough D to change your levels significantly anyway, as the sun or supplementation would.

It's unfortunate that they say not to take much vitamin a in this video instead of talking about how to balance vitamin a and vitamin d.

From what I've read one can achieve a synergistic effect between a and d if you take a ration of around 4:1 a:d. It is true they compete but vitamin a can also be really good for the body.

I am a bodybuilder and have been taking 5,000iu vit D a day for a few months. I find it helps me exercise more intensely and I dont get joint pain from the heavy lifting. In addition, it has kept me free from influenza and other minor colds. Only time will tell if this goodness continues

No adequate mention of D.

[MichaelEdwardWright1]

Doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and fatigue. I became member of fibromyalgia & fatigue web sites. After 5 years of visiting many doctors in wide range of specialties, D3 supplementation cured my many serious medical problems, doctor says I'm D3 poster boy. Noting no helpful mention of D3 on fibromyalgia web sites, I wrote to them. NO RESPONSE, NO MENTION OF D on the web sites, as far as I can find. Unethical. Corrupt. Resist them.
