Vitamin D Level And Cancer Prevention

Many of us try to keep our vitamin D level above 40 ng/mL (despite the claims of many "experts" that 20 or 30 ng/mL is more than adequate). Here's another good reason why that level is important:

A recent pooled analysis of a randomized trial and prospective cohort study determined that women with vitamin D levels of at least 40 ng/ml were associated with > 65% reduced risk of developing cancer.

Healthy vitamin D levels associated with significant decrease in cancer risk among women

That's really good news. I need to check mine again, now that I'm taking 8000 units. I swim at least 3 days a week with the kids in summer, so I know I'll need to decrease then. Thanks Tex for this info!
