Daily doses of one essential vitamin could slash the risk of cancer death, according to research
A doctor has advised people to make one simple change to their daily lives in order to reduce their risk of cancer.
The body creates the essential vitamin when it's exposed to sunlight, however, it can also be found in oily fish such as salmon as well as red meat, liver, and egg yolks. Dr Ben Schöttker, an epidemiologist at the Centre, discussed the findings from the research, the Liverpool Echo reports."Based on current studies, vitamin D3 supplementation probably does not protect against developing cancer but it could reduce the likelihood of dying from cancer," he said.
In the study, around 15 per cent of people were deficient in vitamin D over a year. However, when examining colorectal cancer patients, they discovered that up to 59 per cent were lacking in the vitamin and were associated with a bad prognosis. Dr Schöttker added: "In the four studies with the infrequent higher doses, there was no effect on cancer mortality. In contrast, in the summary of the ten studies with daily dosing, the researchers determined a statistically significant 12 per cent reduction in cancer mortality."
