Vitamin D3 exerts a powerful anti-breast-cancer effect. A recent study concluded that women with the highest Vitamin D3 blood levels had a remarkable 70% reduction in their risk of breast cancer. Another study revealed that women with higher Vitamin D3 levels had a 50% reduction compared to women with the lowest Vitamin D3 levels.

Some medical experts have stated that about half of all breast cancers could be eliminated if we simply consumed enough Vitamin D3. That’s astounding!

Vitamin D3 Deficiency

The American Medical Association (AMA) strongly recommends that physicians test patients for Vitamin D3 deficiency. This great initiative was triggered by the discovery that 70 to 80% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D3. Breast cancer researchers recently reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that 74% of breast cancer patients in their clinic were Vitamin D3 deficient. Vitamin D3 supplementation in these patients, even at twice the current daily recommended amount (the 200 IU recommended by the IOM), was still too low to restore normal Vitamin D3 levels. The researchers state, "Although the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin D in premenopausal women is only 200 IU daily, our study suggests that a dose of 400 IU daily is inadequate in breast cancer patients, even to maintain skeletal health, and is probably too low for meaningful anticancer effects."

Vitamin D3 is normally produced in our bodies by exposure to sunlight, or obtained from our diets in foods that contain Vitamin D3 like fortified-milk, some cereals, orange juice, oily fish (e.g., salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel), cod fish, shrimp, eggs, and dietary supplements. Due to our obsession with avoiding wrinkles, and concerns over skin cancer, most of us completely cover our skin with sunscreen and protective clothing year-round. We don’t get any type of sun exposure on a regular basis, so we don’t make enough Vitamin D3 in our skin. Combined with our deteriorating diets that are increasingly filled with poorer food containing little to no Vitamin D3, it is simple math. We don’t make enough in our skin, or eat enough in our diets, to lower our cancer risks.
