Vitamin D Proven To Help Combat Breast Cancer
Zitat:
(...) Since breast-cancer rates increase every year, the diagnosis and treatment options are of particular interest to scientists. It has long been known that high vitamin D levels can reduce the risk of breast cancer. This has been demonstrated in numerous epidemiological and laboratory studies.
With their study involving 67,721 French women, scientists led by Pierre Engel have shown that a minimum vitamin D level is necessary in order to prevent breast cancer. However, this is particularly difficult to achieve at northern latitudes because exposure to sunlight is insufficient to produce enough vitamin D, especially in the winter months. Whether this link is strong enough to meet the Hill criteria had not hitherto been studied.
A group of scientists in the United States led by Sharif B. Mohr has now reviewed the available scientific data relating to breast cancer and vitamin D on the basis of the Hill criteria. After evaluating the findings, they found that the inverse correlation between vitamin D and breast cancer does indeed meet the Hill criteria. This means that there is now scientific proof that vitamin D reduces the risk of breast cancer. (...)
(Hill criteria: The Hill criteria are a medically recognised series of criteria by which a causal link between a specific factor (environmental impact, socio-economic factors, etc.) and the occurrence of a disease pattern can be verified.)
