Great news! An inexpensive
vitamin D test is now available.
When I first started advising people to have
their blood levels of
vitamin D tested [25(OH)D or calcidiol], the cost for the
test at our local LabCorp was about $150, which was
prohibitively expensive. Though the prices have come down
rapidly,

liver disease, depression and autoimmune deficiency disorders.

W. Toronto, ON Statement about
vitamin D and breast cancer prevention
Attention News Editors:
TORONTO, Nov. 14 /CNW/ - Today, Marc Sorenson, Ed.D, an expert in vitamin
D, issued a statement today in regards to the health and cancer prevention
benefits of vitamin D:
"The recent Journal of the National Cancer Institute published study,
only used 400 IU of vitamin D - an amount we know has no affect on vitamin D
blood levels. This research is deceiving. In contrast, the Creighton
University study (released in 2007) used 1,100 IU of vitamin D. People need
vitamin D blood levels around 40-60 ng/ml to achieve optimal anti-cancer
benefit, and we know that 400 IU won't get you there - in fact, it is barely
enough to prevent rickets. In the winter in Canada, every adult needs about
4,000 to 5,000 IU daily. Vitamin D is called "The Sunshine Vitamin" because
sun or UVB exposure to the skin is by far the most abundant source. Vitamin D
deficiency is a growing concern in Canada, especially during the darker winter
months. Get your levels checked."
Note: 400 IU, if no other source of vitamin D were available, would
produce a level of about 4, not 23. Read more
