Calcium plus Vitamin D Supplementation and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

Jean Wactawski-Wende, +47 more
TL;DR: Daily supplementation of calcium with vitamin D for seven years had no effect on the incidence of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women, and the long latency associated with the development of colorescopy cancer, along with the seven-year duration of the trial, may have contributed to this null finding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemic influenza and vitamin D.

TL;DR: Vitamin D, or lack of it, may be Hope-Simpson's ‘seasonal stimulus’ and dramatically stimulates the expression of potent anti-microbial peptides, which exist in neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, and in epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract where they play a major role in protecting the lung from infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Vitamin D in Cancer Prevention

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that efforts to improve vitamin D status, for example by vitamin D supplementation, could reduce cancer incidence and mortality at low cost, with few or no adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do sunlight and vitamin D reduce the likelihood of colon cancer

TL;DR: It is proposed that vitamin D is a protective factor against colon cancer, supported by a comparison of colon cancer mortality rates in areas that vary in mean daily solar radiation penetrating the atmosphere.
