Vitamin D May Help People Survive Cancer

A new study published today that found colon cancer patients deficient in vitamin D were almost twice as likely to die over a 10-year period compared to patients with healthy levels of the nutrient.

"These findings make considerable sense," Dr. Fuchs, lead researcher on the study said, "because in the laboratory we find that vitamin D reduces the growth of colon cancer cells, prevents its spread to other organs, and actually reduces the growth of blood vessels to these tumors." The government recommends getting 200 to 600 international units of vitamin D a day. But those levels were set 11 years ago, primarily to keep bones healthy. To prevent other diseases, many researchers now say more is needed. I recommend 2,000 units of vitamin D daily.
