Sun exposure, which boosts the body's production of vitamin D, may decrease the risk of advanced breast cancer in women with light skin pigmentation, according to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Other recent studies have linked vitamin D with a reduced risk of cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society announced earlier this year that adults in Canada consider taking a 1,000 IU vitamin D supplement during winter months and has written to major medical research agencies, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, lobbying them to fund a large scale clinical trial on vitamin D. The U.S. vitamin D guidelines are currently being re-evaluated.
