Default Off Topic but ....Out in the sun or not


God i like to get a little burnt but being a fair hair leaping gnome
who had melanoma excised I'm a bit slow to repeat my excesses of youth
sometimes. So what it a best path?

Question where do we get vitamin D aside from light?

Current art suggests.

Vitamin D for cancer prevention: global perspective.
Garland CF, Gorham ED, Mohr SB, Garland FC.

San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
PURPOSE: Higher serum levels of the main circulating form of vitamin D,
25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), are associated with substantially lower
incidence rates of colon, breast, ovarian, renal, pancreatic, aggressive
prostate and other cancers. METHODS: Epidemiological findings combined
with newly discovered mechanisms suggest a new model of cancer etiology
that accounts for these actions of 25(OH)D and calcium. Its seven phases
are disjunction, initiation, natural selection, overgrowth, metastasis,
involution, and transition (abbreviated DINOMIT). Vitamin D metabolites
prevent disjunction of cells and are beneficial in other phases.
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: It is projected that raising the minimum
year-around serum 25(OH)D level to 40 to 60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L) would
prevent approximately 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new
cases of colorectal cancer each year, and three fourths of deaths from
these diseases in the United States and Canada, based on observational
studies combined with a randomized trial. Such intakes also are expected
to reduce case-fatality rates of patients who have breast, colorectal,
or prostate cancer by half. There are no unreasonable risks from intake
of 2000 IU per day of vitamin D(3), or from a population serum 25(OH)D
level of 40 to 60 ng/mL. The time has arrived for nationally coordinated
action to substantially increase intake of vitamin D and calcium.
