"Vitamin D Intake Linked to Lower Cancer Death Rates"
Regular daily intake of Vitamin D, particularly in individuals over 70 and those with a Vitamin D deficiency, may reduce cancer mortality by 12%, according to a meta-analysis of 14 high-quality studies conducted at the German Cancer Research Center. The study found that the effect was most significant when vitamin D intake started before a cancer diagnosis. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among cancer patients, and supplementation with daily low doses of Vitamin D3 is associated with minimal risk and low cost.
