How Vitamin D Can Help Protect Against Cancer
'A closer study of the action of solar radiation on the body might well reveal the nature of cancer immunity.'
That quote - from Dr. Frank Apperly - comes from a 1941 study in which Dr. Apperly analyzed North American cancer statistics and found that people who live nearer the equator generally have lower risk of developing various cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, and colon cancers.
Over the 65 years since Dr. Apperly's groundbreaking research, a closer study of the action of solar radiation on the body has revealed that the mechanism by which human skin converts sunlight into vitamin D is, literally, a life saver. And this is illustrated, once again, in a new breast cancer study from the Imperial College of London (ICL).
