Original Message McGill University researchers have discovered vitamin D helps to slow the progression of cells of cancer from premalignant to malignant states.

The researchers reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences vitamin D helps to inhibit both the production and function of the protein cMYC, which drives cell division and is active at elevated levels in more than half of all cancers.

Vitamin D has been known to have a wide range of physiological effects. Scientists have understood that a correlation exists between insufficient amounts of vitamin D and increased incidence of a number of cancers.

The correlations between the vitamin and cancers are strong for those cancers of the digestive tract, including colon cancer and certain forms of leukemia.

“For years, my lab has been dedicated to studying the molecular mechanisms of vitamin D in human cancer cells, particularly its role in stopping their proliferation,” Professor John White of the Faculty of Medicine’s Department of Physiology, said in a statement.
