Based on two separate studies on the preventative effects of vitamin D and calcium, researchers posit that these two nutrients may help ward off cancer.
In one of the studies, Harvard researchers examined the diets of 30,000 women, finding that those who had diets rich in vitamin D had a 39 percent lower risk of breast cancer than women who consumed the smallest amount of the vitamin.
The second study, which was conducted by researchers at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, revealed that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D reduced the risk of developing cancers of all kinds by 60 percent, compared to a placebo group.
Talk to your doctor about cancer prevention and see if he or she thinks supplementing with vitamin D and calcium is right for you.

维他命D和钙有望减少癌症的发病率
在两项对维他命D和钙元素的分别研究中，实验员发现这两种营养元素很可能抑制癌症的发生。
其中一项由哈佛大学进行的实验，他们将30,000位女性的饮食进行调查，发现常常摄取维他命D的女性要比很少使用维他命D的女性患上癌症的几率减少39个百分点。
第二项实验来自Creighton大学(位于美国内布拉斯加州的奥马哈)，他们在实验分析后认为钙元素和维他命D的补充将有利于降低各类癌症的发病率约百分之六十左右。这让人们感到一种安慰。
对您的医生询问有关如何预防癌症的看法，听从他或她关于维他命D及钙元素对癌症影响的观点将是你您不错的选择。
