It would be tragic, but hardly surprising, if we found out clinically that even skin cancer was boosted by low vitamin D levels....

This may have absolutely nothing to do with this subject but I remember when my Dad was first diagnosed as terminal. He had huge cravings for two things... milk and apples. He literally would drink a gallon of milk a day and eat four to five apples. (This craving was even before the diagnosis as well). Prior to that, he would eat an apple on occasion and I don’t remember him ever drinking milk. Now I am wondering if it was the Vitamin D (in the milk). I am still confused over the apples but maybe they will find a link to that eventually?

Seems like we have a Catch-22 here.

Get some sun = prevent cancer.

Get some sun = get cancer.

The area in which this study was conducted (Northeast PA) is already an area where many people don't have enough vitamin D, especially older individuals. Did the researchers take this into account? Being sick would also tend to lead to more vitamin deficiency.

Maybe they are on to something, but I'd like to see all the controls.

That’s probably why Maine has such a high cancer rate. Maine is “a place where the sun don’t shine”.
