9 out of 10 of you reading this are deficient in this vitamin, unless you have been reading and applying HealthBloggers recommendations...

Everyday I read 5 or 10 stories from MD's that are now seeing the light and are actually testing their patients to see if they are vitamin D deficient. While I think testing is a good thing, it is not necessary. Most experts now believe everyone can benefit from 2,000 IU's to 4,000 IU's of D3 supplementation everyday. What is interesting is that this doctor lives down south near Temecula, close to San Diego. People who live north of that latitude get even less sun and are more likely to have low levels of this critical nutrient. From the Battle of the Bulge, the flu, to cancer, this nutrient is a must in your daily plan to stay well. Make sure if you are taking a multi that it has at least 1,000 IU's of D3 in it. Most likely the one you are taking does not. All of the multi vitamins I formulate have that level or more.

The benefits of sunshine and vitamin D
Eric Madrid, MD
http://www.thevillagenews.com/story.php?story_id=32638
Special to the Village News Thursday, September 11th, 2008. Issue 37, Volume 12.

Physicians and scientists are starting to realize the numerous health benefits of sunshine exposure and vitamin D supplementation. Most doctors know severe vitamin D deficiency causes rickets. Since rickets is rarely seen today, it is incorrectly assumed that vitamin D deficiency is nonexistent.
Fallbrook and Temecula medical providers have diagnosed hundreds of patients with vitamin D deficiency, or about 90 percent of all patients tested. Nine out of 10 people reading this story likely suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
Why should you have your vitamin D level checked? Studies have shown that those with lower levels of vitamin D in their blood have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and heart disease. One study showed greater than a 60-percent reduction in breast cancer in those with the highest levels of vitamin D in their blood.
In addition, senior citizens who have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood are at higher risk of falls, osteoporosis and bone fractures. Those who suffer from chronic pain and fibromyalgia also have lower levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D levels are checked by a simple blood test. Treatment usually requires supplementation with vitamin D3 as opposed to the more commonly sold over the counter vitamin D.
Vitamin D is also made from moderate daily sun exposure to the arms and legs. Caution must be taken to prevent sun burning. Many sunscreens will block out UVB, which is the type of sunlight needed for skin to make vitamin D. Those with darker pigment are higher risk of deficiency, which may explain the higher incidence of diseases in certain ethnic populations.
To check your vitamin D level, contact your physician.
Eric Madrid MD is a family physician with Rancho Family Medical Group, which has offices in Fallbrook and Temecula. See www.ranchofamilymed.com.


Vitamin D Miracles
Receptors for vitamin D are found in most of the cells in the body and research during the 1980s suggested that vitamin D contributed to a healthy immune system, promoted muscle strength, regulated the maturation process and contributed to hormone production.
During the last ten years, researchers have made a number of exciting discoveries about vitamin D.
They have ascertained, for example, that vitamin D is an antioxidant that is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin E in reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing enzymes that protect against oxidation.19;20
Vitamin D deficiency decreases biosynthesis and release of insulin.21 Glucose intolerance has been inversely associated with the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. Thus, vitamin D may protect against both Type I and Type II diabetes.22

The risk of senile cataract is reduced in persons with optimal levels of D and carotenoids.23

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) has been corrected by supplementation of D and calcium.24

Vitamin D plays a role in regulation of both the "infectious" immune system and the "inflammatory" immune system.25

Low vitamin D is associated with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, Sjogren's Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn's disease.26;27

Osteoporosis is strongly associated with low vitamin D. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis respond favorably (and rapidly) to higher levels of D plus calcium and magnesium.28

D deficiency has been mistaken for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or peripheral neuropathy.1;28-30

Infertility is associated with low vitamin D.31 Vitamin D supports production of estrogen in men and women.32

PMS has been completely reversed by addition of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.33

Menstrual migraine is associated with low levels of vitamin D and calcium.81

Breast, prostate, skin and colon cancer have a strong association with low levels of D and lack of sunlight.34-38

Activated vitamin D in the adrenal gland regulates tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate limiting enzyme necessary for the production of dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Low D may contribute to chronic fatigue and depression.39

Seasonal Affective Disorder has been treated successfully with vitamin D. In a recent study covering 30 days of treatment comparing vitamin D supplementation with two-hour daily use of light boxes, depression completely resolved in the D group but not in the light box group.40

High stress may increase the need for vitamin D or UV-B sunlight and calcium.41

People with Parkinsons and Alzheimers have been found to have lower levels of vitamin D.42;43

Low levels of D, and perhaps calcium, in a pregnant mother and later in the child may be the contributing cause of "crooked teeth" and myopia. When these conditions are found in succeeding generations it means the genetics require higher levels of one or both nutrients to optimize health.44-47

Behavior and learning disorders respond well to D and/or calcium combined with an adequate diet and trace minerals.48;49

Vitamin D and Heart Disease
Research suggests that low levels of vitamin D may contribute to or be a cause of syndrome X with associated hypertension, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.50 Vitamin D regulates vitamin-D-binding proteins and some calcium-binding proteins, which are responsible for carrying calcium to the "right location" and protecting cells from damage by free calcium.51 Thus, high dietary levels of calcium, when D is insufficient, may contribute to calcification of the arteries, joints, kidney and perhaps even the brain.52-54
Many researchers have postulated that vitamin D deficiency leads to the deposition of calcium in the arteries and hence atherosclerosis, noting that northern countries have higher levels of cardiovascular disease and that more heart attacks occur in winter months.55-56
Scottish researchers found that calcium levels in the hair inversely correlated with arterial calcium—the more calcium or plaque in the arteries, the less calcium in the hair. Ninety percent of men experiencing myocardial infarction had low hair calcium. When vitamin D was administered, the amount of calcium in the beard went up and this rise continued as long as vitamin D was consumed. Almost immediately after stopping supplementation, however, beard calcium fell to pre-supplement levels.27
Administration of dietary vitamin D or UV-B treatment has been shown to lower blood pressure, restore insulin sensitivity and lower cholesterol.58-60

The Battle of the Bulge
Did you ever wonder why some people can eat all they want and not get fat, while others are constantly battling extra pounds? The answer may have to do with vitamin D and calcium status. Sunlight, UV-B, and vitamin D normalize food intake and normalize blood sugar. Weight normalization is associated with higher levels of vitamin D and adequate calcium.61 Obesity is associated with vitamin-D deficiency.62-64 In fact, obese persons have impaired production of UV-B-stimulated D and impaired absorption of food source and supplemental D.65
When the diet lacks calcium, whether from D or calcium deficiency, there is an increase in fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that converts calories into fat. Higher levels of calcium with adequate vitamin D inhibit fatty acid synthase while diets low in calcium increase fatty acid synthase by as much as five-fold. In one study, genetically obese rats lost 60 percent of their body fat in six weeks on a diet that had moderate calorie reduction but was high in calcium. All rats supplemented with calcium showed increased body temperature indicating a shift from calorie storage to calorie burning (thermogenesis).61

Are you suffering from allergies? Authoritites say this is one of the worst years on record...

I was watching a news special the other day that said we are having one of the worst allergy epidemics in years in this country.

When it comes to allergens, you have just a few choices. You can take over the counter drugs that treat the symptoms of allergies that often cause jittery nerves, elevated blood pressure and drowsiness. Why not consider taking the more natural approach and improve your immune function, and use natural nutrients that have antihistamine properties, with side benefits and none of the usual side effects of the over the counter alternatives. Severe allergies can be treated with Homeopathic Oral Antigens, which are like the shots that doctors use to improve immunity, without the needles. Kids can use them too, and we all know how much they hate shots.

Research Suggests Health Benefits from Increased Vitamin D...

The Seneca-News Dispatch
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 9:55 AM CDT

Multiple published studies on the benefits of vitamin D lead Time Magazine to list vitamin D as one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2007.

In 2008, there have been headlines reporting that vitamin D is linked to colon cancer survival and helps protect cells from stress that leads to cancer.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to increased risk of early death according to Tammy Roberts, nutrition and health education specialist, University of Missouri Extension.

“As a result of some of these studies more people are asking to have their blood levels of vitamin D checked. Labs have reported a 74 to 90 percent increase in the number of this kind of test,” said Roberts.

Many people are finding they have low levels of vitamin D. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, as many as 36 percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient.

“One school of thought theorizes that we have always been deficient but didn’t know it until research on vitamin D increased and more people became interested. Others believe we are deficient because of our diet quality and our use of sunscreen,” said Roberts.

The human body is able to make its own vitamin D after exposure to the sun or ultraviolet light. Sunscreen blocks ultraviolet light and diminishes that ability.

The Institute of Medicine has not established a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D. There is an Adequate Intake (AI) established.

The AI of infants, children and adults up to age 50 is 200 International Units (IU) per day. AI for adults ages 51-70 is 400 IU per day and for adults after age 70 is 600 IU per day.

According to Roberts, this is significant because Adequate Intake is what is recommended when there is not enough scientific evidence to set a RDA.

“RDA’s are recommended levels of the nutrient that would meet the needs of almost all healthy individuals in a specific age group. AI recommendations are based on averages of what apparently healthy people are taking in,” said Roberts.

It appears that with the recent research, there is more evidence for a RDA for vitamin D. Some health professionals are recommending 1000 IUs of vitamin D per day.

“Achieving a level of 1000 IUs of vitamin D would need to come partially from a supplement since few foods are an excellent source of vitamin D,” said Roberts.

For more information on nutrition issues, contact any of the University of Missouri Extension offices in southwest Missouri, go online to http://extension.missouri.edu or contact one of the two nutrition and health education specialists working in the Ozarks: Tammy Roberts, (417) 682-3579 or Terry Egan, (417) 866-3039.

" The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein

Are you overly hungry all the time?

I am always experimenting with diet and it's effect on blood sugar, hunger and hyperinsulinemia. Because I eat a diet daily that focuses on high proteins, vegetables and a little fruit, with the exception of once a week when I treat myself, I am very sensitive to my daily hunger levels. I usually have low hunger levels and I don't normally get uncontrolled cravings for foods or the desire for carbs, the comfort foods .

Lately I have experimented with 2 foods, low fat wholegrain granola and brown rice. When I first started learning nutrition over 30 years ago, I was taught that the Macrobiotic was the best diet plan for health. The Macrobiotic Diet focused on whole grains as of first importance, then fruits and vegetables, and low fat foods. The result of people eating this way over the last 30 years is a 32% increase in type 2 diabetes and a population that is very over weight. Since that time I have learned that Proteins are the most critical, and in fact, the word protein means... Of First Importance.

The experiment...
A few weeks ago I bought brown rice and consumed it for a couple of days along with my normal meat, vegetable and low grain diet. In a day after I started the rice, my appetite went off the chart and all I could think about was food. I had an unusual desire for sweets too.

This week I tried a whole grain granola with a little dried fruit in it. Very healthy according to many nutritionists who don't understand insulin's role in hunger and fat storage. Again, about a day later, I had the same uncontrollable hunger and strong cravings for sweets.

I mention this because many people eat more food than they need daily, because their insulin levels are overly high and they are in fat storage mode as well, because of it.

As soon as I stopped eating those foods and went back to my Ideal Diet, the hunger normalized and I stopped thinking about food all day. Interestingly enough, Wholegrain Rye Crackers like Wasa, don't seem to cause any problem, and that is confirmed by recent studies as well.

Learn about eating a Low Glycemic Diet and how high insulin levels, Hyperinsuliemia, effects your health and encourages fat accumulation on your body.

Good health to all of you...

Is everyone feeling so good, that they are not interested in the biggest news to come out in the history of anti-aging medicine? Oh well!!!

Here are some recent studies that you may find interesting. I have been surprised how little response I have had on the Blogs I have been doing on the latest research on anti-aging, Resveratrol and the effects we now know it has on stopping the diseases of aging.

I guess no one is interested in staying young and healthy until they get sick. Perhaps you are all just playing and enjoying the summer. So, I will to.

Sun Exposure Saves Ten Times as Many Lives Via Vitamin D than Die From Skin Cancer ...
The number of lives saved by people doubling their sun exposure might be 10 times higher than the number of fatal skin cancers that would result, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Institute for Cancer Research in Oslo, Norway, and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation from sunlight increases the risk of developing skin cancer, but also increases the body's production of vitamin D. The connection between vitamin D and bone health is well-known, and recent research suggests that a higher vitamin D intake might also provide protection against certain cancers, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Vitamin D is also believed to help with the proper functioning of the immune system.

" The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein

Turn on this gene, and it may be possible to eat what you want and live a long healthy life free from disease.

Has science found the Fountain of Youth... You will have to be the judge, but I am not waiting, and neither are other scientists and researchers. We are acting NOW!!!

Glaxo Smith Kline, a very large pharmaceutical company recently bought Sirtris Pharmaceuticals for $720 million, or $22.50 a share. Why should I care you ask? Well, Sirtris is a biopharmaceutical company that's developing drugs to target a class of enzymes called sirtuins. Its SIRT-501, which is in early-stage development, is an enhanced formulation of resveratrol (the healthful agent found in red wine) that targets one of those enzymes, SIRT1. Why were they bought? Because what they discovered may be the closest thing to the fountain of youth ever found and explains why the french could eat a diet high in fats associated with heart disease and yet show amazing resistance to it. I am not waiting for their drug and neither are the scientists that discovered this compound. I am taking the natural form of resveratrol that is available in concentrated form right now, and in a form that I feel will always be superior to any drug they will patent.
Sirtris feels they have found the possible cure for diseases that are associated with aging... diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, obesity and osteoporosis.

Watch this video to see why they are excited and you will understand why they were bought out for so much money this year.

The average life span of Americans is about 78 years. Some people live much longer and don't seem to do it with any special help from diet. Is it possible that they have a gene turned on that promotes longevity, while some of us don't? It makes sense and I believe as do the scientists that created Sirtris, that we can turn this longevity gene on with daily supplementation of resveratrol.

The current research is very overwhelming. While I respect the work of these scientists to bring this compound to market as a drug, I do not think it is the best approach. Why make it a drug? If they isolate the exact molecule, they can patent it and have exclusive rights to the drug at very high prices for at least 6 years. The natural compound that I take is already available, but cannot be patented. It also has other phytonutrients that many biochemists feel are equally needed for achieving the anti-aging benefits it creates like grape skin polyphenols, found in red wine. Concentration the the key. To really get benefits like the ones they are getting, you would have to drink hundreds of glasses of red wine daily.

I have included below all the Blogs I have done this year on resveratrol and my other favorite anti-aging compounds like Green Tea Ext, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin D3 and Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Carnitine.

Share this information with everyone you love who values their health.

Good health to you all...

Too good to be true? You be the judge...

Could the right diet along with supplementation possibly take 20 years off the biological age of your brain, make middle aged cells function much younger, improve memory & cognitive performance, double your energy and dramatically reduce your chances of getting cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurological conditions?
Too good to be true... If research done on mice extends to humans, which we feel it does, then perhaps yes... In fact, recent studies on humans have already been done with amazing results.
Life extension is a hot topic these days, with baby boomers aging and wanting to stay active and young. More than life extension, health span is what most of us really want. The ability to live a long life with comparatively good health and vigor, free from degenerative disease, until very near death. Researchers say the best way to accomplish that has everything to do with diet, exercise, healthy lifestyle habits and micro nutrient intake.

I recommend what I call The Ideal Diet, which is a diet that mimics what our ancestors ate and is anti-inflammatory in nature. In addition to that diet, I take a powerful combination of the nutrients discussed below everyday for nutritional insurance. Take some time and read the following studies.
Today I have highlighted RESVERATROL, as just one of the compounds I have focused on in the last few years.

Prevention is so much cheaper than treatment, and a by product of this protection is, quality of life.

Master anti-aging, gene expression modulating, and disease prevention program… Developed by Christopher Wiechert, C.N.C.,...
A few months back I read a study that created a major paradigm shift in my approach to programs dealing with health and wellness, disease prevention and reversal. When it comes to issues like obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, alzheimer etc, many medical authorities blame genes for these health problems, and don't realize that foods and nutrients have profound effects on whether these bad genes are turned on or off. The new biology of Epigenetics tells us that while we inherit genes from our parent’s, we can be in control of whether these genes are switched on or off and therefore, whether we grow old gracefully with little or no disease or die prematurely.

Vitamin D could save your life...

If by now you haven't increased your levels of vitamin D3, you haven't been paying attention to me, or the media. Epigenetics has a profound effect on healing and stopping the disease process. The way vitamin D works is by turning good genes on and bad genes off. This is Epigenetic Nutritional Control at work, and it is just one of many nutrients and phytonutrients that have the power to do this.
Your thinking process is the most powerful epigenetic controlling tool you have, are you using it? It starts with you seeing the need to make changes and then incorporating those changes into your daily life.
Based on my research and the research of the top scientists in the country today, you may really want to consider taking 1,000 to 2,000 IU's for children and 2,000 to 5,000 IU's for adults everyday and perhaps 10,000 IU's if you have very low vitamin D blood scores and or are dealing with extreme health issues. At this time, the scientific consensus is that optimal vitamin D levels are 40 to 60 ng/mL. Consult with your doctor first, but the levels above are considered within the safe levels and it could have a profound improvement in your health now and in the future.

Children at Risk From Current Low Vitamin D Recommendations ...
Proponents of using nutrition, supplements and other natural means to obtain and keep optimum health have long warned that the FDA approved minimum daily allowance of some vitamins is woefully inadequate. Now new research backs up that idea when it comes to vitamin D in children.In fact, according to a report set for July publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), children may need and safely take ten times the 200 International Units (IUs) of vitamin D currently recommended by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics. This fact could have long-term importance for youngsters because the new research reveals such an increase in vitamin D could improve the bone health of children worldwide -- and it may have other life-long health benefits, too.

Vitamin D and calcium influence cell death in the colon, researchers find...
Researchers at Emory University are learning how vitamins and minerals in the diet can stimulate or prevent the appearance of colon cancer.
Emory investigators will present their findings on biological markers that could influence colon cancer risk in three abstracts at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting in San Diego.
In a clinical study of 92 patients, supplementing diet with calcium and vitamin D appeared to increase the levels of a protein called Bax that controls programmed cell death in the colon. More Bax might be pushing pre-cancerous cells into programmed cell death, says Emory researcher Veronika Fedirko, who will present her team's results (abstract 464).
Previous studies have shown that calcium and vitamin D tend to reduce colon cancer risk.

Women who consume higher amounts of calcium and vitamin D may have a lower risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer, according to a new study. Data from animal studies have linked calcium and vitamin D to breast cancer prevention, according to background information in the article. However, epidemiologic studies on humans have been less conclusive.

Prostates protected by vitamin D: study...
The benefits of vitamin D for prostates may be due to the action of the vitamin on a specific gene, suggests new research that deepens our understanding of how nutrients and genes interact.
Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center report that the active form of vitamin D in the body, 1,25-hydroxylvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D), may link with a gene known as G6PD, which releases an antioxidant enzyme and protect DNA from damage.
"Many epidemiological studies have suggested the beneficial properties of vitamin D," said lead researcher Yi-Fen Lee. "Our findings reflect what we see in those studies and demonstrate that vitamin D not only can be used as a therapy for prostate cancer, it can prevent prostate cancer from happening."

Low Vitamin D Intake Boosts Heart Attack, Stroke Risk by 60 Percent ...
Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Harvard Medical School and published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation. Participants with low levels of vitamin D had a 60 percent higher chance of experiencing a cardiovascular event, including heart attack, heart failure or stroke, during the study period than participants with high blood levels. The correlation remained even after researchers adjusted for other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Why I bombard you with studies effecting your health, every week...

The brain processes 400 Billion bits of information a second, but we filter out all but 2000 bits of information per second and accept that into our awareness at that moment. The information you let in is about your environment, your body and about time. The process is pretty self serving. It's all about you at that moment or what is important to you right then. If you have your eye on a danish, you most likely will ignore my Blog on why grains and sugar aren't good for you.
The part of the brain that does this in the Reticular Activator. It’s a little part of your brain that focuses in on the things you tell your mind to pay attention to. It’s your mind’s filtering mechanism. When you consciously (or subconsciously) think about things, it’s your reticular activator that filters out examples of what you’re thinking about and brings them to the front of your conscious.
This is your reticular activator at work. It can not only help filter in, but it can filter out as well.

What do you allow in?... that which you are comfortable with, based on your experiences that you have had since you were born. You in fact become what you think about most. I am trying to capture a few of your brain cells and get you comfortable in making changes, you would not feel important, without superior knowledge. I hope you don't delete these or let them get removed by spam, but either way, I will keep sending them. It is human nature not to pay attention to things until they become important. With health, that is usually after you LOSE it.

My goal is to change that paradigm, if you let me.

Enjoy this weeks articles and studies...

Good health to you all...

Higher Coffee Consumption Associated With Lower Liver Cancer Risk...
A new large, prospective population-based study confirms an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and liver cancer risk. The study also found that higher levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in the blood were associated with an increased risk of developing the disease. The researchers noted a significant inverse association between coffee drinking and the risk of primary liver cancer. They found that the multivariable hazards ratio of liver cancer dropped for each group that drank more coffee. It fell from 1.00, to .66, to .44, to .38 to .32 respectively. “The biological mechanisms behind the association of coffee consumption with the risk of liver cancer are not known,” the authors point out.

Coffee habit may be good for your heart...
Long-term coffee drinking does not appear to increase a person's risk of early death and may cut a person's chances of dying from heart disease, according to a study published on Monday.
Previous studies have given a mixed picture of health effects from coffee, finding a variety of benefits and some drawbacks from the popular drink. The new study looked at people who drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee.

Black tea may speed up recovery from stress...
Drinking black tea could reduce stress hormone levels and help ease the burden of heart disease, says the first randomized clinical trial into the effects of the beverage on stress. "Drinking tea has traditionally been associated with stress relief, and many people believe that drinking tea helps them relax after facing the stresses of everyday life," said Steptoe. "However, scientific evidence for the relaxing properties of tea is quite limited. This is one of the first studies to assess tea in a double-blind placebo controlled design."

Study With Smokers Shows Vitamins Combine For Benefits...
A new study has found that supplements of vitamin C can largely stop the serious depletion of vitamin E that occurs in smokers, demonstrating for the first time in humans a remarkable interaction between these two antioxidants as they work together.
The results of the research were based on a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study with smokers and non-smokers, and showed that supplements of 1000 milligrams of vitamin C per day could reduce by up to 45 percent the rate of disappearance of one form of vitamin E in smokers. In general, vitamin C supplements helped protect the function and plasma levels of vitamin E, so that smokers who took supplements had about the same level of antioxidant protection as non-smokers.

Vitamin D Cuts Risk of Colon Cancer Death by 72 Percent ...
People with higher levels of vitamin D in their bodies are 72 percent less likely to die from colorectal cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Colorectal cancer kills approximately 50,000 people in the United States per year.Researchers tracked the health status of 16,818 people in a nationwide government health survey. Participants joined between the years of 1988 and 1994 and were followed until the year 2000. Their blood was measured regularly to determine their bodies' levels of vitamin D. Those with higher levels of vitamin D at the beginning of the study were 72 percent less likely to die from colorectal cancer than those who began the study with the lowest levels of the nutrient.

Vitamin C-rich diet may slash diabetes risk...
Increased blood levels of vitamin C may reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 62 per cent, says a new study from Cambridge. The strong independent association observed in this prospective study, together with biological plausibility, provides persuasive evidence of a beneficial effect of vitamin C and fruit and vegetable intake on diabetes risk,” wrote lead author Anne-Helen Harding from Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, England.
An estimated 19 million people are affected by diabetes in the EU 25, equal to four per cent of the total population. This figure is projected to increase to 26 million by 2030.

8 Drugs Doctors Would Never Take...
If they won't use these medications, why should you?
With 3,480 pages of fine print, the Physicians' Desk Reference (a.k.a. PDR) is not a quick read. That's because it contains every iota of information on more than 4,000 prescription medications. Heck, the PDR is medication — a humongous sleeping pill.
Doctors count on this compendium to help them make smart prescribing decisions — in other words, to choose drugs that will solve their patients' medical problems without creating new ones. Unfortunately, it seems some doctors rarely pull the PDR off the shelf. Or if they do crack it open, they don't stay versed on emerging research that may suddenly make a once-trusted treatment one to avoid. Worst case: You swallow something that has no business being inside your body.
Of course, plenty of M.D.'s do know which prescription and over-the-counter drugs are duds, dangers, or both. So we asked them, "Which medications would you skip?" Their list is your second opinion. If you're on any of these meds, talk to your doctor. Maybe he or she will finally open that big red book with all the dust on it.
