Breast cancer breakthrough: vitamin D in combination with sun exposure is key to prevention
As DrEddyClinic has covered for years, researchers have found a profound link between breast cancer and low levels of vitamin D (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=6010, http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=22843). Women with the lowest blood levels have the highest breast cancer risk and those dying of metastasized disease are the most vitamin D deficient of all. Scientists have theorized vitamin D has anti-cancer properties that influence cell growth, healthy cell differentiation and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
However, when researchers have looked only at levels of dietary vitamin D intake and breast cancer risk, their findings have been sometimes inconsistent. So what is going on here? Does vitamin D definitely have the potential to prevent breast malignancies or not? A large and potentially groundbreaking French study appears to have the answer: the key to breast cancer prevention may well be taking higher amounts of vitamin D through diet and supplements combined with regular, direct sunshine exposure.
