Of course exposure to the sun is bad and causes skin cancer. And then there’s studies that claim many suppliments are not being digested properly and flush right through the system. People can’t catch a break.

Incidence of cancer and death rate are 2 different things.
You can look at these charts from the CDC and compare. You’ll notice that there are some not-so-sunny states toward the bottom half of the list and sunnier states toward the top 1/2. You’ll also notice that Massachusetts is close to the top in incidence and in the bottom 1/2 in death rate; same for Alaska.

That was an interesting article and potentially very important. Well worth reading the whole thing, for those of you who might be about to skip it.

Thanks for posting it, decimon.

I’ve been taking cod liver oil for that reason. Vile, disgusting stuff, but loaded with Vitamin D.

There’s research that VitD is harmful to folks with autoimmune disease because the L-form bacteria in their bodies actually increases and gets worse when VitD is taken.

linked vitamin D supplements to an astonishing 60-per-cent decrease in cancer incidence among middle-aged and older women.

No wonder the FDA, nothing more than a lapdog for the big pharma concerns, wants to start regulating supplements.

Another Vit D ping.

When I see the word “real” in the political arena, I think of GA’s Jimmuh Carter saying, “the energy crisis is real”. And the American believed him for several years.
