I wonder how northern climates compare to southern ones in the colon cancer occurence rates?

[Cicero]

That’s good to hear. I take calcium citrate with vitamin D for other reasons. A bit of vitamin D helps the body absorb the calcium.

I feel much better about my milk moustache now.

excellent question. although the mediterranean diet is good for the heart with wine, etc. now it appears it isn’t good for the colon or for breast tissue. the same calories taken from high calorie and dairy products will not put weight on you the same way that high calories from simple sugars. that’s why weigh watchers makes you eat a dairy every day. it fills you up, and it doesn’t turn to fat, nor does it trigger colon cancer apparently.

I'm 60, I never gave up on the Vitamin D Whole Milk. I didn't follow the masses to Skim or 2%. I'm the same weight as when I left for ‘Nam [the 12 months when 2% milk was the only option]. My Colon is in fine shape...
Now, I may know why!

I’ve been here since about April 1998, and this is a first. I don’t believe I have ever seen a Freeper say, “My colon is in fine shape.”

Mr. Powell, pick up the courtesy phone.

Cheers!

I’ve been here since about April 1998, . . . .

But . . . .but . . . . hovering on doug from upland pops up "Since 1997-12-04"

[doug from upland]

Duh, that’s right. It was April 1997. When JimRob changed a server, everyone who was before Dec. 1997 showed up as joining in Dec. 1997. Okay, then, I haven’t seen someone brag about his colon since joining in 1997. :)

Interesting - my grandmother died of colon cancer. I take Vitamin D religiously after reading it could cut the chances of pancreatic cancer which my mom died of last year.

In early Feb 1998, I reported on going to DC for the weekend trying to serve an eviction notice on the Clintons.

[skeptoid]

I did not know that. . . good stuff.

And sometime I'll look for your report on the eviction attempt.

[doug from upland]

I’ve searched for the eviction report. It’s long gone.

"I take Vitamin D religiously......."

I'm interested in upping my intake of vitamin D. May I ask, how much do you take daily?

[peggybac]

400IU in tablet form - I get more from milk and other foods.
