Sunshine is regularly blamed for causing fatal skin cancers, but it may help save your life if you develop a different cancer. It seems that sunlight has an overall protective effect as it stimulates the body's production of vitamin D, which helps to combat internal cancers, including those of the colon and prostate.
"A little sun exposure is a little better for you than avoiding sunlight," says Richard Setlow of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, who co-led the new work

Coinciding with the first week of summer, a study published today underscores the importance of getting adequate amounts of sunlight for its vitamin D-boosting benefits. The research, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, shows that those with the lowest vitamin D levels have more than double the risk of dying from heart disease and other causes over an eight-year period compared with those with the highest vitamin D levels. The researchers cite "decreased outdoor activity" as one reason that people may become deficient in vitamin D

A new study shows that people who have low levels of vitamin D in their blood had a greater risk of dying.
Researchers led by Harald Dobnig, MD, of the Medical University of Graz, Austria, tracked 3,258 men and women who had been referred for an angiogram of their heart arteries. More than two-thirds had significant blockages in their coronary arteries.
The patients were followed for about eight years. During that time, 737 of them died, including 463 from cardiovascular problems

The study shows us that women with breast cancer who have a vitamin D deficiency at the time of diagnosis are more likely to have a recurrence or to die from their disease. This study found that vitamin D deficiency is very common among women with breast cancer, and it suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to poorer outcomes in these women

A hugely important discovery was found by workers at a travertine factory near Denizli, Turkey. They sawed a block of the limestone for tiles and discovered part of a human skull. Researchers says that it appears to be a long-sought species of human that lived 500,000 years ago, however, the fossil also reveals the earliest case of tuberculosis (TB).
TB's presence might provide clues about what this early human looked like and how it adapted to new habitats

Most Americans fail to get the calcium and vitamin D they need, but this shortfall could be affecting more than their bones. It may, at least in part, be one reason behind the epidemic of type 2 diabetes, suggests new research conducted at Tufts University.

Many otherwise healthy children and adolescents have low vitamin D levels, which may put them at risk for bone diseases such as rickets. African American children, children above age nine and with low dietary vitamin D intake were the most likely to have low levels of vitamin D in their blood, according to researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
