Breast cancer risk reduced by almost 80% by doing this simple thing???

10/27/2013

   A study found that women taking this supplement had a 77% reduced risk of breast cancer over 4 years! I hate to sound like a broken record but it was vitamin D that was found (again) to reduce cancer risk. The sad thing is that a lot of people have not heard about about this. This study was done in 2007!! You would think this would be big news. Why hasn't this been reported? Why does the American Cancer Society reject this and other studies like it?
  The important thing is that normalizing your vitamin D levels can have profound effects on your health. In this study, only 1100 IU of vitamin D were used. These are not high doses by an means. In addition, calcium was also supplemented. As a result, these findings were associated with blood levels of vitamin D being only raised to 40 ng/L. The optimal level is 50-80 ng/L. I wonder what the results wound have been at optimal levels.
   The lead author, Dr. Joan Lappe, said, "“We’re looking at defeating cancer within our lifetime if we utilize this information. This is the first clinical trial to show that boosting Vitamin D status in conjunction with Calcium can affect the overall risk for cancer – a proposition that has tremendous public health potential. By choosing vitamin D rich foods and taking a supplement, Americans can help improve their Vitamin D levels and potentially impact their cancer risk.”
   The take away message is to optimize your vitamin D levels year round. Use appropriate sunning technique (do not get burned!) or supplement with vitamin D3/vitamin K2 enough to keep your blood levels 50-70 ng/L year round.
