Everyone’s mother was right...”Drink your milk!” LOL

Regular sun exposure before 11 AM and after 3 PM is the best way to get Vitamin D and avoid associated deficiency symptoms.

Referring to Linus Pauling, the famous U.S. advocate of vitamin C use as a cure for many illnesses, he said: "Basically, Linus Pauling was right, but he was off by one letter."

That's pretty good.

Thanx for this article!! I checked my calcium pills to see how much vitamin D was in them. I hadn’t noticed that there wasn’t any until now! I know the past bottles I had included the D. It’s a common combination. About a week after I reduce my vitamin D, my cancer seems to have gotten more active.

Thanks for the heads up on the next 2 week medical fad.

Aha! Something I discovered years ago—after being laid up in bed with a nasty flu bug, really bad cold—just as soon as I was sufficiently enough on the mend to manage to crawl outside, that sitting outside in bright sun made me feel a lot better.

Oh, goody.

"As it is, the 400 IU dosage included in most multivitamins is too low to be an effective cancer fighter."

So how much "would" be effective?? I'm afraid the number "150 nanomoles per liter" doesn't really convey the needed info.

“Vitamin D deficiency tied to host of dangers”

“For most people, she said, 10 minutes a day of sun exposure to the face and arms without sunblock protection is enough to trigger vitamin D production in the skin during warm weather. However, from mid-October to mid-March, the sun’s rays in northern cities such as Boston are too weak to generate vitamin D, causing a regionwide drop-off in blood levels through the winter.”

“When it comes to cancer rates, it is especially good to be Latino. That is the conclusion of a new report by the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) describing the burden of cancer in the nation’s Latino population. Statistics in the report reflect the cancer experience of more than 86 percent of the Latino population in the United States.”

“Overall, the report shows a lower incidence of cancers for Latino populations than other populations in this country. Scientists believe those low rates may be due to the large proportion of recent immigrants in the Latino population. Latino immigrants typically come from countries where cancer rates are lower than in the U.S.”

• Latino populations had lower incidence for all cancers combined and for the four leading cancers (breast, prostate, lung and colorectal) than non-Latino populations.

Would this mean that folks who work at night and sleep during the day might have an increased risk of cancer? Nurses, etc...

Those trying to brand contaminants as the key factor behind cancer in the West are "looking for a bogeyman that doesn't exist,"

Not unlike Gorebull warming.

Many FR threads here about Vitamin D.

Here's one in particular that I liked:

The Antibiotic Vitamin

researchers have puzzled over why rich northern countries have cancer rates many times higher than those in developing countries — and many have laid the blame on dangerous pollutants spewed out by industry.

How about people who live in developing countries generally only live until their 40s and die of something else way before they can get cancer

Kind of interesting. For several years, I have been going to the tanning bed twice a week especially during the Winter. The first Winter I did the tanning bed, I noticed my moods were much better than in previous Winters.

Members of the MSM are puritanical by nature and have harped against anything that can be enjoyed including getting outside and especially tanning.

Asbestos is responsible for very few cancers while being blamed for many.

Uh oh! Now even more yankees will be flocking to Florida to live.
