Evidence of the critical role vitamin D plays in the body's overall health and ability to prevent major forms of cancer continues to evolve, according to recent studies.
Numerous recent studies conclude there is a vitamin D deficiency among Americans and that people should take appropriate action to raise levels of what's commonly referred to as "the sunshine vitamin" in their bloodstreams.
A recent Harvard Medical School study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated that more than 60 percent of Americans are living with deficient levels of vitamin D, which is proven to fight off major cancers including colon, prostate and breast cancer. Other recent studies have concluded that a lack of vitamin D may lead to heart disease and other chronic health problems, including hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
