We have just been talking to Colin McFarlane, a british actor ,about prostate cancer. He is working with Cancer research to tell people to get tested. I ranted on about this podcast and must have said vitamin D ten times. We hope to put the interview on our podcast sight Green Giraffes and Worms soon. THANK YOU for all the work you do.

Vit d3 CURED my hubbys decades of high blood pressure in 48 hours! clearing up his blue jean leg rash also, and other mens issues. Cured my decades of nightmares also! we take 10,000 iu/day or more. one needs therapeutic doses of 20,000 - 50,000 iu/day vit d3 with vit K2 for bigger issues like ccr, diabetes, auto immune diseases, etc. but its great for those too.

It sounds to me as though this study showed the difference between vitamin D supplementation and adequate sunshine more than precisely the permanent genetic differences between Caucasian American and African American prostates. It seems the supplementation made up as much difference as supplementation can without adequate sunshine exposure.

So... for those of us that don't know what deferentially expressed means... is it good or bad?
-
Does all this research suggest that African Americans have a earlier risk for prostate cancer because they are lacking in vitamin d due to high melanin in their skin?

The only issue I have with conclusions like this is you cannot take one isolated factor like vitamin D and then draw conclusions. What about lifestyle, exercise, diet, smoking, stress, family history. So many factors contribute to cancers of all types. Typically dairy is considered a good source of vitamin D but then dairy is supposedly a contributor to aggressive prostate cancer. So you have conflicting information.

Vitamins in synthetic form are toxic to the body, any body.
