Study explains why vitamin D prevents prostate cancer

Study explains why vitamin D prevents prostate cancer:
"A study by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center provides an explanation why vitamin D may prevent prostate cancer and maybe other types of cancer.

Many epidemiologic and laboratory studies have showed that vitamin D may protect against many types of cancer including prostate cancer and it may be used both as a preventative and a therapeutic agent. The Canadian Cancer Society has already recommended daily use of 1,000 IU of vitamin D to prevent cancer."
Vitamin D sure is on a roll. From its role in bone formation, to its seeming anti-cancer properties. It is a hot one! How can you get Vitamin D? Here is how from a previous post.
