Vitamin D Protect Against Colon Cancer
Dear Reader,
In one of the largest studies ever on vitamin D and colon cancer, researchers have found that high levels of vitamin D in the blood might offer protection from cancers of the colon and rectum.
The work, appearing online in the British Medical Journal, involved more than 1,200 subjects who had colorectal cancer and 1,200 controls that were free of the disease.
Those with the highest levels (100 nanomoles per liter) of vitamin D in their bloodstream had an almost 40% lower risk of colorectal cancer compared to those who were at the lowest levels (under 25 nanomoles per liter) of vitamin D.
The findings come out of the EPIC study (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. This study has more than half a million adult subjects from 23 centers in 10 western European countries, all who were free of cancer at the start of the research.
After several years follow up, 1,248 subjects were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and these participants were matched to the same number of participants (1,248 cancer free participants).
The researchers had collected very detailed diet and lifestyle information, and noted blood levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, a reliable marker for the amount of the vitamin in the body from all sources, including diet, supplements and sunlight.
The results of the research "support a role for vitamin D in the accepted causes of this form of cancer." EPIC investigator Dr. Mazda Jenab of the International Agency for Research on Cancer in France tells Reuters Health. "But this has to be balanced with caution regarding the potential toxic effects of too much vitamin D and the fact that very little is known about the association of vitamin D with either increased or reduced risk of other cancers."
EPIC coordinator Dr. Elio Riboli of Imperial College, London, added, "There is consistent scientific evidence that low circulating vitamin D concentration is a marker of increased risk for developing colon cancer." Riboli hopes that future work in this area would examine if vitamin D supplements would cut cancer risk without bringing on serious side effects.
You can get vitamin D naturally in one of three ways...
· From the sun: 15 minutes in the sun a few times a week, without sunscreen to block the natural absorption of vitamin D.
· From your food: 400-600 IU of vitamin D each day from natural sources such as egg yolks, saltwater fish, liver and fortified milk is a good start. Per the Institute of Medicine, the upper limit for vitamin D intake is 2000 IU per day, and more is NOT better.
· From supplements: Shop with care and look for USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. Talk with your doctor before beginning any supplement program, and be sure to take only the recommended amount, no more.
There is as yet no consensus on optimal vitamin D levels in adults. Some work has suggested that for colon cancer prevention, blood levels of vitamin D should be kept in the mid range, at about 50 nanomoles per liter or more.

Vitamin D Protect Against Colon Cancer Continued...
The researchers did compare low and high levels of vitamin D to a mid level (50-75 nanomoles) and found that anything over 75 nanomoles brought a reduction in risk, while levels under 50 nanomoles were associated with higher risk of colorectal cancers.
Inadequate vitamin D levels in both Europe and North America may be the bigger issue.
Experts believe that large proportions of both these populations are likely to fall into the deficient or insufficient category. And since few foods are natural sources of vitamin D, fortified foods must provide most of what we get from our diet.
Experts believe you can get the vitamin D your body needs from a healthy, balanced diet, as well as regular, moderate exposure to natural sunlight.
While we wait for the word on vitamin D supplements, your best bet if you're concerned about your risk of colorectal cancer is to see that your levels of this important nutrient are as high as they should be by including vitamin D rich foods into your diet.
Eat a balanced diet, stop smoking, get more active, manage your weight - Especially abdominal fat, and limit your intake of red/processed meats and alcohol to do all you can to keep yourself healthy and cancer free.
To your good health,
