A large international study that was published on Thursday indicates that people with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood are at a lower risk for colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer in the U.S. Results from prior studies were inconclusive, but that’s not the case with this one.
The study was conducted by over 20 medical centers and organizations across the globe, including the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The amount of vitamin D that must be consumed in order to provide protection against colorectal cancer is far greater than what is currently recommended by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
