  Vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of getting a number of cancers. The exact mechanism by which this is done is not known. Multiple different mechanisms are though to be involved. Unfortunately the doses that are required for cancer prevention are very high and therefore toxic to the body. There has therefore been a drive to find vitamin D analogs that are less toxic but still beneficial in cancer prevention. The idea that sunlight can prevent cancer is not new, this was suggested as far back as 1930.
