Vitamin D deficiency is an underlying cause of many lethal cancers, such as lung cancer, ovarian and breast cancer, including Melanoma skin cancer. The amount of Vitamin D required for children was just DOUBLED by the Pediatric ASsociation to 400 iu's because of a reaccurrence of the vitamin deficiency disease of rickets. Remember, Vitamin doesn't come from milk, it was added by the government of England when they recognized that all the children forced to work in mines got rickets and instead of concluding that children shouldn't work in mines, they decided to fortify their milk instead. The optimum levels of Vitamin D, a hormone made in the skin by sun exposure, are often recommended up to 10,000 - 20,000 iu's for adults. Skin cancer is easily detected and can be treated early and is rarely fatal. Historically, the vast majority of all types of lethal cancer occurred in the northern portions of the USA...at least prior to the sunscreen and dermatological industries scare tactics that started in the 90's. It just became 'fashionable' to be a pale 'working woman' in the 80's instead of a tanned housewife. Feel free to 'search' Vitamin D deficiency or Vitamin D etc and read for yourself from a wide variety of qualitly sites. Judicious tanning during the hours of 11 am and 3 pm (ie 15 mins to an hour several times a week or more) are needed to stay healthy and prevent cancer. Not to mention, Vitamin D plays a critical role in the obesity epidemic...which in turn has created other epidemics of diabetes, heart disease and, again, lethal forms of cancer. The research is there, but...no one makes any money if you get some sun stay slim and healthy...but they do if you buy sunscreen and get cancer.
