Dear Reader,

 

The arguments about vitamin D have become so convoluted that I'm not

even sure the so-called " experts " know what they're saying anymore. The

latest headline-grabber was a study published in the Journal of the

National Cancer Institute that disputed claims that this essential

nutrient can reduce the risk of dying from cancer.

 

According to this particular study, researchers found no link between

blood levels of vitamin D and cancer mortality among 16,818

participants. But the same study also showed that people with the

highest levels of vitamin D had a 72 percent lower risk of dying from

colorectal cancer.

 

********************************

... . . confused?

********************************

 

And just to make matters more confusing, the article I read about this

study went on to say that " while the existence of a connection between

vitamin D and cancer mortality remains in question, vitamin D

deficiency has been linked to several health problems including

cancer. "

 

In fact, a study published in September in the Archives of Internal

Medicine analyzed results from 18 other studies on this nutrient,

involving more than 57,000 people, and found that those suffering from

vitamin D deficiency have significantly higher risk of death from three

of today's top killers: heart disease, diabetes, and - you guessed it -

cancer.

 

********************************

All this talking in circles is enough to leave anyone dizzy.

********************************

 

I understand that they don't want to give the impression that taking

extra vitamin D every day is a " get out of jail free " card when it

comes to cancer. But this situation seems less like a case of avoiding

false promises than it does of avoiding common sense.

 

After all, isn't it just logical that if vitamin D deficiency increases

the risk of cancer, making sure you're getting enough (which, for most

of us, does involve taking supplements) will DECREASE your risk?

 

Then again, who ever said mainstream medical research made sense?

A poll of 2,052 adult women by Vitabiotics Perfectil, a vitamin

company, shows that record numbers of women are suffering hair loss and

acne triggered by stress and poor diet. Almost one in five said that

they were suffering or had suffered hair loss, while thirty-eight per

cent said they had acne. Half blamed a poor diet for their health,

while a quarter said that stress was responsible.
