Ät extra D-vitamin och förläng livet. Tillskott minskar risken för att dö i alla sjukdomar med åtta procent, visar en stor internationell studie. Ledande forskare efterlyser nu en internationell debatt om berikning av mat och en försiktig omvärdering av vår restriktiva syn på solbad. Det är forskare vid WHO:s internationella institut för cancerforskning i Lyon, IARC, som gått igenom 18 stora studier kring D-vitamin som publicerats fram till november 2006. Sammanlagt ingick 57311 personer som i genomsnitt följdes i nästan sex år. Under perioden avled 4777 av dem. När forskarnas slog ihop alla olika dödsorsaker upptäckte de att den totala dödligheten var åtta procent mindre bland dem som regelbundet åt extra D-vitamin. Tillskotten låg mellan 300 och 2000 internationella enheter, IU, men var i medeltal på en nivå som är normal i vanliga vitamintabletter, närmare bestämt 528 IU.

"We have been bombarded over the past couple of years with scientific articles suggesting that vitamin D is the key to improving many aspects of our health, including reducing the risks of dying from cancer. An article in this week's Journal of the National Cancer Institute reminds us that perhaps we should be a bit cautious in embracing vitamin D as "the answer" before we do more research. The report, from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, concluded that vitamin D levels in the blood were not related to overall cancer mortality. However, the study did find that higher levels of vitamin D were associated with a substantial decrease in the risk of dying from colorectal cancer, and possibly with a reduction in the risk of dying from breast cancer."
