Vitamin D and colon cancer


Much of the same can be seen for colon cancer rates.

The southern latitudes of Australia, africa etc would have a similar dispersal , again related to Vitamin D levels.

Well, we have it, it is cheap, pennies a day and free in the summer. It is called vitamin D. In our culture, without profit, there is no incentive to promote Vitamin D .
