Vitamin D slows the progression of cells from premalignant to malignant states, keeping their proliferation in check     

Published: 22Nov2012

A team of researchers at McGill University have discovered a molecular basis for the potential cancer preventive effects of vitamin D. The team, led by McGill professors John White and David Goltzman, of the Faculty of Medicine’s Department of Physiology, discovered that the active form of vitamin D acts by several mechanisms to inhibit both the production and function of the protein cMYC. cMYC drives cell division and is active at elevated levels in more than half of all cancers. Their results are published in the latest edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

 

Although vitamin D can be obtained from limited dietary sources and directly from exposure to the sun during the spring and summer months, the combination of poor dietary intake and sun avoidance has created vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in large proportions of many populations worldwide. It is known that vitamin D has a wide range of physiological effects and that correlations exist between insufficient amounts of vitamin D and an increased incidence of a number of cancers. These correlations are particularly strong for cancers of the digestive tract, including colon cancer, and certain forms of leukemia.

good post tara.

Great article - Thanks for posting this.

We are like mushrooms in North America - especially at this time of year.

thank you my son got me a bottle of D3 even if i live in Fl. he said it will help my Immune systerm

Thanks for all the great comments and your welcome.

Personally, I've been taking a multi-vitamin but haven't yet taken any extra vitamin D but I shall. I have been taking Zinc though which is another immune booster.

Well, my family is really healthy and I can't remember the last time I had to bring my daughter to the doctor because of a sickness. I remember when she was a baby/toddler, trying to give her liquid antibiotics. I had to try to disguise it in juice because she wouldn't take them. But she would spit out the juice too. I don't think she ever finished an antibiotic the 2 times she was prescribed them. Her immune system decided it would take care of the illnesses on their own I guess. It must have been mothers milk ;)

Our immune systems are working like they're meant to work. We must be doing something right ;)
