The Properties Of Vitamin D

In the last 50 years, a lot of research work has been undertaken to study the link between the effects that vitamin D has on cancer risks. So in the 1950's some scientists premeditated weather conditions and health information in warmer areas of the world to institute that places with more sunshine provides more vitamin D, which was the explanation given for the lowest death rates from colon cancers in those areas. Many studies since then have established the existence of a positive relationship between vitamin D and calcium and the prevention of cancer, right from prostrate cancer to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This is especially accurate in cases of breast cancers. Just recently there have been a couple of studies published with evidence about how calcium and vitamin D prevent cancer. When Harvard researchers conducted the first study with women who had not gone through menopause, it showed woman with elevated levels of vitamin D and calcium have a smaller chance of developing breast cancer than women with smaller levels of these minerals.

When Harvard researchers began the second study they came to the same summary, and resulted that vitamin D and calcium products facilitate with the reduction of different kinds of cancer. It is with these studies being carried out that we now have understanding and proof to comprehend the benefits of calcium and vitamin D in regards to preventing cancer. It was Otto Warburg that won the Nobel Prize in 1932 and came up with the conjecture that cancer is caused by lack of oxygen in the body. An alkaline level of pH 7.4 in the blood stream must be kept to help retain the bodies free oxygen supply. To preserve the alkaline in the body you should consume a good number of minerals in your daily diet, if you don't consume enough minerals this can lead to cancer, arthritis and other serious diseases because of body fluids turning from alkaline to acid as they aren't getting enough oxygen.
