More Good News On Cancer Defense With D

Exciting new research conducted at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska has revealed that supplementing with vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by an astonishing 77 percent. This includes breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and other forms of cancer. This research provides strong new evidence that vitamin D is the single most effective medicine against cancer, far outpacing the benefits of any cancer drug known to modern science.

The study involved 1,179 healthy women from rural Nebraska. One group of women was given 1500 mg daily of calcium and 1100 IU of vitamin D daily while another group was given placebo. Over four year, the group receiving the calcium and vitamin D supplements showed a 60 percent decrease in cancers. In just the last three years of this study there was an impressive 77 percent reduction in cancer due to supplementation.

These amazing effects were achieved on what many nutritionists consider to be a low dose of vitamin D. Exposure to sunlight, which creates even more vitamin D in the body, was not tested or considered, and the quality of the calcium supplements was likely not as high as it could have been. In addition to that it was in all likelihood calcium carbonate and not high-grade calcium malate, aspartate or similar forms. This means that if you take high-quality calcium supplements and get lots of natural sunlight exposure or take premium vitamin D supplements like the one's you get from fish oil, you could easily have a greater reduction than the 77 percent reduction recorded in this study.
