Packing a Punch Vitamin D May Play a Role in Preventing Cancer, Heart Disease and Other Ailments...
We've known for decades what vitamin D can do for your bones. Kids who don't get enough vitamin D get rickets. Adults who are deficient in D also can develop brittle, misshapen bones.
In this job, vitamin D is cast in a supporting role; it's main function is ensuring calcium is absorbed into the bones and muscles. But it turns out we might have been selling D short.
An avalanche of research over the past few years suggests vitamin D might play a role in preventing other diseases, independent of calcium:
- A Harvard study of more than 30,000 women published in May found premenopausal women with the highest vitamin D intake had 35 percent less breast cancer than those getting the least vitamin D.
- Another Harvard study in 2006 found white people with the highest levels of vitamin D had a 62 percent lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis.
- In a study published earlier this month, researchers in Nebraska found women who got 1,100 international units of vitamin D every day lowered their risk of any cancer by 77 percent. This study was small - just 1,179 women - but it was the most rigorous yet to examine vitamin D's impact on health. Other studies point to a protective effect against cancers of the colon, prostate, ovaries, pancreas and kidney, as well as heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, arthritis and other illnesses.
