How exciting is this!?! Research from Harvard ties Vit D and the Sun to Lung Cancer survivial rates! It opens a whole plethora of new hypotheses!
Yahoo! News - Sun, Vitamin D Help Lung Cancer Survival - Study: "If the research is validated it may mean that taking vitamin D or fortified nutritional supplements soon after a diagnosis and before surgery could provide 'a survival advantage,' Christiani said.
The link between vitamin D and surgery outcome is not known but other studies have hinted that it may work to inhibit a variety of cancers, the researchers said."
"It looks like vitamin D is anti-proliferative, so it inhibits proliferation of abnormal cells," Christiani said, adding that there was also evidence to suggest vitamin D inhibits the spread of tumors."
