From: "Robin Stewart" Fri, 03 Sep 2004 23:42:54 +0100 CANCER, WOMEN AND VITAMIN DWomen across the world got some great news today. Dr. Diane Feskanich of Harvard University reported women can significantly reduce their risk of colon cancer by maintaining high vitamin D blood levels. Women over the age of 60 with the highest vitamin D blood levels had 1/2 the chance of developing cancer of the distal colon and rectum compared to women with the lowest levels.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=retrieve & db=pubmed & am p;list_uids=15342452 & dopt=AbstractThe news about breast cancer was even

better. A Canadian group headed by Dr. Berube discovered women can greatly reduce their risk of developing abnormal breast densities, just by increasing their intake of vitamin D and calcium. Women with the lowest vitamin D intake were four times more likely to develop abnormalities on mammography than were women with the highest intake. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=retrieve & db=pubmed & am p;list_uids=15342447 & dopt=AbstractThe press can contact the authors using information on the URL links above. Evidence linking vitamin D deficiency to numerous cancers is now overwhelming. No wonder excitement is building for yet another NIH sponsored conference on this remarkable molecule. The latest conference will concentrate entirely on cancer and vitamin D and be held November 17-19

on the NIH campus. It is being organized by ones of the world's foremost authorities on vitamin D, Professor Tony Norman, of U.C., Riverside. http://vitamind.ucr.edu/Cancer & Cance rChemo.htmRemember, we are just a non-profit interested in spreading the word about the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency.
