Vitamin D may not protect against prostate cancer

Another failure of the cure du jour.

"New research from Europe confirms that men's prostate cancer risk has no relationship to how much vitamin D they have in their blood.

"Despite the widespread notion that vitamin D insufficiency is an important risk factor for prostate cancer, this theory has not been substantiated by results from the majority of published prospective studies," Dr. Francesca L. Crowe of the University of Oxford in Oxford, UK, and colleagues write in the American Journal of Epidemiology."

Funny how facts change the landscape.
