“In this mini-review, researchers summarize evidence from both epidemiological and mechanistic studies investigating the role of vitamin D in cancer.”

“Progesterone alone was 1.8 times more effective than placebo but vitamin D and progesterone had the greatest impact on recovery. Considering that up to 70% of the US population has inadequate vitamin D levels, this could pose an unfavorable outcome for many TBI patients. Doses given: progesterone (1mg/kg body weight twice a day). vitamin D (5micrograms/kg body weight once per day).”

“A: Unrefined sweeteners are more likely to contain fiber and micronutrients (i.e., vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals), which slow the absorption of sugar and blunt the glycemic response. Q: Are non-nutritive (i.e., artificial) sweeteners a good alternative to sugar?”

“Multiple sclerosis has also been linked to genetically low vitamin D...meaning a gene that converts vitamin D into active vitamin D hormone does not work well in many MS patients so they need an unusually high dose of vitamin D.”

“The vitamin A activates the enzyme (called TET) that removes methyl groups from DNA and vitamin C is a cofactor for the enzyme. This not only has relevance for reprogramming adult cells into stem cells, it is also important for certain cancers such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, which abnormal methylation plays a role in malignancy.”

“00:10:30 - Extreme obesity dramatically shortens life expectancy. News release. 00:11:40 - Vitamin D regulates serotonin synthesis.”

“FTA: > Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in older people, according to the most robust study of its kind ever conducted. An international team found that study participants who were severely vitamin D deficient were more than twice as likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease.”

“A new study by my mentor Dr. Bruce Ames proposes that 10 known compounds be classified as potential longevity vitamins due to their interaction with proteins that protect against diseases of aging.”

“The main source of vitamin D for infants in the first year of life is breast milk. However, if a mother has inadequate levels of vitamin D herself then the infant will not get a sufficient amount of vitamin D from the milk.”

“FTA: > Clinical trial patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who had high levels of vitamin D in their bloodstream prior to treatment with chemotherapy and targeted drugs, survived longer, on average, than patients with lower levels of the vitamin, researchers report.”
