Once again, supplements are under attack, this time it is Vitamin D in an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
There is so much research showing the benefits of Vitamin D in reducing the risk of many cancers, including prostate
cancer, that one wonders how it was possible to arrive at the conclusion reached in the article.
One such study is in the Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics.

The above link will take you to the full study which concludes:
Further assessment of vitamin D and its analogues for cancer prevention is being done. From the evidence till date, vitamin D and its analogues seem to be beneficial for cancer prevention and treatment.
We, as representatives of a premier supplement company, must be well informed to alleviate any concerns presented to us by those who are interested in supplementation but who express their doubts and concerns when they are being bombarded by such negative press.
Below is a link to an excellent scientific rebuttal of the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute's article.
