Nobody needs to take Vitamin D. All they need to do is get some sunshine
for 5-10 minutes a day without sunscreen whenever they can to build up
their Vitamin D stores in their bodies, and that should carry them
through the winter months when there isn't quite enough sun for their
bodies to make it themselves.

This is the one vitamin we don't have to buy (hallelujah!).

risk
of cancer by an astounding 60 per cent.
The move is believed to be the first time a major public-health
organization has endorsed daily use of the sunshine vitamin as a
cancer-prevention therapy for an entire population.

It follows a flurry of research suggesting the low-cost vitamin
confers a high degree of protection against a wide variety of
cancers.
There are also striking study results suggesting that people who
develop the disease often have low blood levels of vitamin D.

Although it is not known how many of the approximately 160,000 cancer
cases diagnosed annually in Canada might be avoided by regular
popping
of a vitamin D pill, the cancer society said these findings are so
