Sunshine, Vitamin D, and Breast Cancer
Monday September 4, 2006
Get your sunshine and your vitamin D at the same time, and lower your risk of developing breast cancer. But don't stay out all day and toast yourself - learn how much sunshine might help you, and how much is too much. Don't have time to soak up the rays? Perhaps a dietary supplement would be helpful. But don't overdo it, as too much calcium isn't good for you, either. Read some advice based on new studies from researchers around the world.

No one knows exactly why a normal breast cell becomes a cancerous one, and there is probably no single cause. It is thought, however, that breast cancer results from a combination of risk factors. These risk factors can be grouped into several categories:
Hereditary risk: It has long been known that women whose mothers or sisters had breast cancer have a higher risk of developing the disease themselves. Recently, it has been discovered that breast cancer can develop when a woman inherits a breast cancer susceptibility gene from one of her parents.
Hormonal risk factors: The female hormones estrogen and progesterone are involved in breast cancer formation. For example, it is known that women who start to menstruate at an early age, or who have a late menopause have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who do not.
