Vitamin D and Calcium Associated With Reduced Breast Cancer Risk
Calcium & Vitamin D intake may lower Breast Cancer risk
You already knew that calcium and Vitamin D are important for health. But a new study by a team of researchers at Harvard Medical Center suggests that pre-menopausal women who get those nutrients either from foods or supplements are less likely to develop breast cancer. It has also long been thought that vitamin D and Calcium may protect against colon cancer.
The study, published on May 28, 2007 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, tracked the health of over 10,000 (10,578) pre-menopausal women, and over 20,000 (20,909) post menopausal women over the course of 10 years. The top fifth of the pre-menopausal women who had the highest intake of Vitamin D and calcium (1,366 milligrams of calcium and 948 units of Vitamin D) had a one-third reduced risk compared with those who consumed the least.
Occurrences of breast cancer in pre-menopausal women aren't very common. Less than 5% of Breast Cancer cases occur in women under the age of 40, and they comprise less than 3% of deaths from breast cancer. Still, getting an optimal daily intake of Calcium and Vitamin D isn't a bad thing; both play a role in preventing osteoporosis, may aid in weight loss, and have other heath benefits.

In modern traditional medicine, harsh chemicals and radiation are used to treat prostate cancer and they do nearly as much damage to the body and the immune system as they do to the cancerous cells. It doesn't make much sense when we think about it, but it's an accepted practice that saves lives, even if it does put them through agony. But what if there was a more natural prostate cancer treatment that didn't destroy the body as drastically while killing the cancer? Serving Charlotte, North Carolina, the Immune Recovery Foundation makes these treatments available in the form of IPT.
