SLASH Your Breast Cancer Risk by 80%
It seems like everyone these days gets a “participation trophy.”
It doesn’t matter if you come in first… or second… or eighth. There’s a ribbon or trophy for EVERYONE!
And mainstream medicine LOVES to give itself awards and recognitions it didn’t earn.
Case in point?
Lots of doctors and researchers are crowing about how breast cancer rates have dropped over the past 20 years.
But breast cancer still kills more women than any other cancer… so I don’t necessarily call that progress.
Luckily, you don’t need to be the next breast cancer statistic.
Because researchers have just discovered an easy way to slash your breast cancer risk by up to 80%.
You just have to ignore EVERYTHING mainstream medicine tells us.
We’ve known for years that vitamin D helps us keep strong bones.
But it does MUCH more than that.
It can also be your secret weapon for stopping breast cancer.
When researchers studied more than 5,000 women who were 55 or older, they found that women who had vitamin D blood levels of 60 ng/mL or higher had an 80% lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who had levels closer to 20 ng/mL.
This study tells us two important things:
First, vitamin D is a critical part of preventing breast cancer.
Second, you’re probably not getting enough.
How can I know that second part?
Because 20 ng/ml is the current blood level recommended by the National Academy of Medicine.
That number is based on previous research showing that 20 ng/mL was how much vitamin D you needed for strong bones.
But preventing cancer and preventing osteoporosis are two very different animals. And this study makes it clear that in order to harness vitamin D’s cancer-preventive properties, we need much more D than the authorities recommend.
Don’t be the victim of outdated guidelines.
Have your 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels checked right away. If they’re lower than 60 ng/ml, start taking steps to improve your levels.
The best way to do that is to spend more time in the sun, but you can also start eating more vitamin-D-rich foods, like salmon, sardines, beef liver, oysters, and eggs.
To a brighter day,
