The study found that patients with breast cancer who have low levels of vitamin D can quickly die from the disease or easily spread than patients enough nutrients. Research shows vitamin D (vitamin sunlight) has a benefit or as an anti-cancer predisposition.
Vitamin D is formed by our skin from the sun. Too long exposure to the sun can increase the risk of skin cancer, but doctors believe that skin exposed to sunlight for 15 minutes in a few days a week without sunscreen (sunscreen) can provide health benefits. In addition, vitamin D can be found in salmon, tuna and other fish oils and also routinely added to milk, but only the levels of nutrients that enter the blood very little if through food.
For those who have higher levels of vitamin D in the blood may reduce the risk of breast cancer by 50 percent, but very few women in these circumstances. High levels of vitamin D in the blood requires the consumption of 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day and most women in America can only be as much as 320 IU.
Studies report that only 24 percent of women who participated in the study had sufficient levels of vitamin D when they were first diagnosed with breast cancer. The remaining approximately 2 times its almost have low vitamin D levels when first exposed to breast cancer or spread after 10 years and more than 73 percent more likely to die from the disease. "The figure above illustrates the huge difference and this new vitamin D linked to breast cancer" said Dr. Pamela Goodwin of Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto.
But people should not directly consume excessive vitamin D supplements. Experts do not agree how levels of vitamin D in the body that people need, and if most also not good for health. Very difficult to give precise recommendations, because each individual has a basal level different were also affected by sunlight, skin type, and time. Doctors recommend for breast cancer patients to check their blood levels of vitamin D in the blood, to see there is a shortage or not.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It is estimated that this year there were 184.450 40.930 cases of breast cancer and deaths from this disease in the United States.
