Another study on vitamin D's effects on cancer prevention has come out, with evidence that vitamin D slows the action of a key carcinogenic protein that causes colon cancer. The new study confirmed previous findings that vitamin D can help control cancer tumors.

"Our study has confirmed the pivotal role of the vitamin D receptor in controlling the anomalous signal that sparks off the growth and uncontrolled proliferation of colon cells which, in the final instance, ends up causing a tumor to emerge," the study's authors told UPI.com.
