The “sunshine vitamin”–vitamin D–is also a great breast cancer preventive. Unfortunately, our modern environment literally pales in comparison to the sunny, tropical, unsheltered world in which our ancestors evolved.
Researchers now widely agree that the minimum blood levels of vitamin D recommended for healthy bones (32 ng/mL) isnt enough to protect against breast cancer. They are now finding that blood levels at 52 ng/mL give the best breast protection: a 50 percent reduction in the incidence of breast cancer.
Therefore, for breast cancer protection, I recommend that you take up to 4,000 IU daily of supplemental vitamin D3 (not D2, which is much less effective) to keep your levels in the 50 ng/mL range.
