In laboratory tests, mice that are deficient in vitamin D for 10 weeks proved to be happening faster tumor growth compared to mice that intake of vitamin D sufficient. This means maintaining the levels of vitamin D could possibly act as protective as it has been investigated by previous studies.
Professor Brian Feldman of Stanford University pediatric section as saying there have been several previous studies linking vitamin D with other cancers such as colon cancer and prostate. However, because the results varied so until now scientists are not quite sure to mention the benefits of vitamin supplements for cancer.
"Although a lot of research to do, research from our laboratory and others have shown that people who are at risk of breast cancer should keep their vitamin D levels," said Feldman was quoted as saying MedicalDaily,
There are many contradictory opinions relevant to the effectiveness of vitamin D for health problems because there are no standard sizes for everyone.
