After 20 years of epidemiological data pointing in this direction a double blind placebo controlled study by Lappe at Creighton University confirmed these findings. You can see all this data on www.vitamind3world.com Two years later and still there is nothing in the US or Western European media about this major development Almost two years have passed since the Canadian Cancer Society started recommending that everyone take vitamin D to prevent cancer.

The site has good summaries of the data and offers a new preparation of vitamin D in a micro-pill formulation. The pills have been formulated with cellulose which absorbs water very quickly. This ensures that the pill breaks up very quickly to provide for maximum absorption. The micro pill is tiny and tasteless. Many vitamin D pills on the market have very poor dissolution properties resulting in poor absorption. The site also offers to supply customers with a free supply of 400IU for their children and it also has a good newsletter.

Don't we all die? Isn't the risk of death 100% for everyone, and isn't it always caused by something? Is this study saying that those who get enough vitamin D have a 126% chance of dying? Some more clarification would be good here. As it is, this article tells us nothing.

If I wear sunscreen to protect myself from skin cancer, I am restricting myself from receiving Vit. D from the sun. Considering the way parents obsessively slather sunscreen on their kids, I would be curious to see if Vit. D deficiency is more pronounced in children.
