Research on Vitamin D and Cancer Prevention

Recently, there have been a number of important studies looking at vitamin D and calcium supplements and how they help prevent cancer. All of these reports were based on the findings of a study that was initially designed to see if vitamin D helped fight osteoporosis. Yes, they found vitamin D helped fight osteoporosis, but the researchers also found that they reduced cancer incidence. Now, there is one problem. The numbers were very small so it’s difficult to draw any definite conclusion regarding recommendations or direct impact, but there was about a 60% reduction in cancers overall across the board. Again, it’s a small population. So, what’s my take? Obviously, more studies will be done, but it is clear that vitamin D will help fight cancer, at least to a small extent, and you get the added advantage of strengthening the bones.

Healthy Eating for Cancer Prevention

If you had to pick one way to reduce your risk of getting cancer, it would be not smoking cigarettes. But what if you’re not a smoker? What’s the next best step for you? Well, according to a report from a recent cancer meeting, you should watch your diet. Meals consisting of fruits and vegetables and soy are excellent defense. Work at the University of California Los Angeles has isolated two chemicals. One called dindolemethane or DIM and another called, isoflavone, that’s found in vegetables and soy, that can reduce the production of dangerous proteins that can lead to cancer. The bottom line? You don’t have to worry about chemical’s names. Just remember this. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. That’s what’s going to make a real big difference. If you follow it, it will work out for you.
