How Vitamin D Prevents Breast Cancer

It has been known for some time that vitamin D inhibits breast cancer cells and tumor growth.  Scientists are now trying to understand how vitamin D works its magic.  New research shows that vitamin D activates tumor suppressor gene activity, and that activity is supported in direct proportion to the amount of vitamin D. 

Women must be very careful not to run low on vitamin D during the winter months.  For example, gaining weight, which makes insulin resistance and leptin resistance worse, will always increase the risk for breast cancer.  Combine that with a lack of vitamin D, too much stress, and a throw in a few toxins for good measure, and presto – there is a problem.
