This Vitamin Combo Halves Risk Of Melanoma...
Dear Reader,
Good news for women at risk of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, you might cut its likelihood in half by ensuring you get enough vitamin D and calcium according to some promising new research.
Doctors know that increased risk of this form of cancer comes from having a previous non-melanoma (basil or squamous cell) skin cancer. Lead researcher on the study, Dr. Jean Tang from Stanford University School of Medicine, believes the findings are quite encouraging in terms of preventing melanoma in a high-risk population.
Vitamin D and calcium are known for playing a part in the growth of bones, but they do affect other cells of the body as well. Some research has also shown that these two bone helpers are tied to a lower risk of breast, colon, prostate and other types of cancers.
As little as 400 international units (IU) is all you need according to Tang. The U.S. Institute of Medicine recommends 600 IU of vitamin D each day.
The theory suggests that skin cancer cells lay in wait to develop into melanoma, but taking calcium and vitamin D, in the right amounts, might keep them from growing into a tumor.
Calcium has shown itself to be able to reduce tumor growth in those who have colon cancer. Tang also noted that an earlier study she led saw a benefit from vitamin D in cutting the risk of melanoma in older men.
For the current work, Tang and her team gathered information on 36,282 postmenopausal women (aged 50 to 79 years) who were taking part in the Women's Health Initiative study. To see if calcium and vitamin D had any affect on broken hips or colon cancer, the subjects were randomly assigned to take either supplements or a placebo. The supplements included 1,000 milligrams of calcium, 400 IU of vitamin D.

This Vitamin Combo Halves Risk Of Melanoma... Continued...
Over the seven-year follow up, the women who took the supplements and had a non-melanoma
skin cancer cut their risk of developing a dangerous melanoma by a whopping 57%
compared to subjects not taking the supplements. The reduction did not come for
those who hadn't had an earlier non-melanoma skin cancer.
According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, in the United States, 68,000
plus cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year. Dr. Michael Holick, a professor
of medicine, physiology and biophysics at the School of Medicine at Boston University
said that lots of sun exposure early on ups your risk for non-melanoma skin cancer.
But sunlight also has a role in vitamin D synthesis. The thinking goes that improving
your vitamin D status, naturally, might provide your skin cells with a mechanism
to keep them from becoming cancerous. The role of calcium is not yet fully understood.
More work will need to be done to see if the results appear in men or younger
women. The team also plans to test vitamin D and calcium compounds on cancer
cells directly.
In the meantime, if you're at risk of skin cancer or not, getting enough vitamin
D is important for keeping yourself healthy. You can get this important nutrient
from foods like fatty fish and fortified dairy, exposure to natural sunlight
(not during peak hours of course) or taking daily supplements.
The study on vitamin D/calcium and melanoma appears in the online edition of
the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
To your good health,
