Thanks again Lani. This is really interesting and promising given its natural origins.my understanding is that ibc is more prevalent in parts of Africa and also in African American women.i have heard that darker skins make it harder for vit d to be synthesised so wondered about a possible connection. Looks like I need to continue the sun exposure and supps not only for osteoporosis but bc as well!
