Re: A must watch - Risk Breast cancer and vitamin D 50-80% risk reduction

Is it possible that one may not absorb vit. D? I live in South Florida, worked many years outside without sunscreen and still diagnosed w/breast cancer. My grandfather was a farmer, exposed to sunshine out in the fields most of his life, he dies of brian cancer, my mom, spent most of her days at the beach without sunscreen and diagnosed w/breast cancer at age 51. My family and myself, exposed to plenty of sunshine in South Florida without sunscreens and yet so much cancer! I was Brac-1 negative. Her-2 very positive and at time of diagnosis was declared deficiant in vitiman d levels. My Conclusion: Vitamin D levels meant nothing to me in terms of getting cancer, unless, there is a proven reason why I didn't absorb it, however, I'm now supplementing just to insure a reaccurance doesn't manifest itself but, we can speculate and support facts all we want, there's still nothing solid about vitamin d and cancer prevention.
