The sun has gotten a bad rap over the last 25 years. The fact is, humans NEED sun. It promotes better health. Like all else, everything in moderation. Don't get burned. Everyone knows when he or she has gotten enough sun. Use common sense. Enjoy. [/quote] Sun in the cold winter days up north, more often than not is very hard to come by. Also, who wants to be in the sun when it's 10 degrees outside? I'd rather take the pill, so would many. [/quote] The minute I catch a glimpse of the sun I am off out on my bike, unfortunately the only part of me that is visible are my eyeballs, not good for vitamin D intake. [/quote] Actually I read something where most Vitamin D is absorbed through the eyelids. [/quote] That's good news so, I will no longer be so self concious of my appearance. [/quote]
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.
