Vitamin D For Young, Can Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

Data from the study based on the population supports the theory that vitamin D may reduce the risk of breast cancer, and suggest that giving vitamin D relative at a young age may be very important.

Dr Julia A Knight of Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, the team reported the findings in Washington, Tuesday, at the annual meeting of the American Cancer Society researcher.
"We found evidence that many factors related to vitamin D, including sunlight and food sources (cod liver oil, fortified milk, some fish species)-has a relationship with a reduced risk of breast cancer. In particular, we see this in the provision (vitamin D) during adolescence, "said Knight.

The findings are based on a study comparing 576 women, aged 20 to 59 years, and was diagnosed with breast cancer and 1135 women's "healthy control" with the same age.
There is evidence of greater reduction in risk of breast cancer, such as those who work outside the home and the number of activities outside the home at the age of 10 to 19 years and 20 to 29 years.

Consumption of cod liver oil for 10 years or more was also associated with reduced risk of breast cancer, as well as the consumption of more than nine glasses of milk per offices compared with women who consumed less than five glasses at age 20 to 29 years.
Knight concluded, "The evidence is growing that vitamin D may reduce breast cancer risk, and what we see in line with the opinion that what happens in breast cancer development in adolescence may affect breast cancer risk in the future."
