More Research Links Low Vitamin D and Cancer
A new look at the way cancer develops suggests that low vitamin D levels enable the spread of the disease. A study by the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California San Diego has produced a new model of cancer development. The currently-accepted model of cancer development considers genetic mutations to be the basis of cancer, while the new model proposes that a loss of communication between cells is the key event in the development of cancer and low levels of vitamin D could be at least partially responsible.
