Strong implication that Vitamin D can curb melanoma, but not the severity of other skin cancers.

Many long term Vitamin D users take the supplement because they know the risks of sun exposure and take precautions to avoid the primary cause of melanoma.

... but not the severity of other skin cancers.

Probably can't hurt. But I'm going to channel my inner Smeagol and live under a mountain hiding from sunlight with my only vitamin D source being fish oil.

Inconsistencies could have been due to simple Vitamin D reporting without looking at how D3 needs K2 (Potassium) and possibly Magnesium supplementation to increase the D uptake and be safe from Calcium deposits in heart/blood vessels.

Holistic practitioners have known this for some time.

The sublimate is equal to how many hours of sunshine??...or drinking fortified WHOLE milk. You need “fat”.

People taking vitamin D supplements regularly also had a considerably lower risk of skin cancer, according to dermatologists.


Why would they take supplements? Because they are not in sunlight very much and thus have low levels of Vitamin D.

As often with correlation, causation can go either direction - or even from another direction entirely to both.
