Vitamin D Cuts Breast Cancer Risk by 50% – take 2,000 IU / day

by Rod Edwards on February 11, 2010

If its really this effective, and harmless in large dosages as suggested below, why don’t municipalities start adding it to drinking water, like we do with flouride? I’ll let you wonder whether that’s a serious suggestion or not. In the meantime, do your part for our healthcare budget and take your vitamins.

Don’t be concerned that 2,000 IU will give you too much. With exposure to sunlight in the summer, the body can generate between 10,000 IU and 20,000 IU of vitamin D per hour with no ill effects. In addition, no adverse effects have been seen with supplemental vitamin D intakes up to 10,000 IU daily.
