Vitamina D baja riesgo de Cáncer por 77% – Nuevo Estudio 6/2007

La nueva investigación emocionante conducida en la escuela de la medicina Creighton University, en Nebraska ha revelado que el suplemento con la vitamina D  y el Calcio puede reducir su riesgo del Cáncer por 77% por ciento, asombroso.  Esto incluye el cáncer del seno, el cáncer del colon, el cáncer de la piel y otras formas de cáncer.  Esta investigación proporciona nueva evidencia fuerte que la vitamina D es la sola medicina más eficaz contra el cáncer, pasando lejos de cualquier droga del cáncer sabida a la ciencia moderna.

El estudio implicó a 1179 mujeres sanas de Nebraska rural.  Dieron un grupo de mujeres el Calcio (alrededor 1500mg diariamente) y la vitamina D (1100 IU de diario) mientras que dieron otro grupo placebo.  

Sobre cuatro años, el grupo que recibía los suplementos del Calcio y de la vitamina D demostró una disminución de 60% por ciento de cánceres.  La consideración de “expertos” apenas de los tres años pasados del estudio revela una reducción impresionante de 77% por ciento en el cáncer debido a la suplementación.  (El lanzamiento de prensa completo de este estudio es incluido abajo en ingles. Proporciona más detalles sobre los resultados.)

Observe que estos efectos asombrosos fueron alcanzados en lo que consideran muchos nutricionistas ser una dosis baja de la vitamina D.  La exposición a la luz del sol, que crea aún más vitamina D en el cuerpo, no fue probada ni era considerada, y la calidad de los suplementos del Calcio no era tan alta como habría podido ser.

¿Qué es lo que esto significa? Significa que si usted toma los suplementos de alta calidad del Calcio (por ejemplo: malate de alto grado del Calcio, Aspartate o formas similares) y consigue las porciones de suplementos superiores naturales de la exposición de luz del sol o de la vitamina D  (tales como: aceite de los pescados), usted podría fácilmente tener una mayor reducción, comparada a la reducción de 77 por ciento registrada en este estudio.

Creighton press release
Here’s the original press release about the new findings on vitamin D and cancer prevention:

OMAHA, Neb., June 8 — Most Americans and others are not taking enough vitamin D, a fact that may put them at significant risk for developing cancer, according to a landmark study conducted by Creighton University School of Medicine.

The four-year, randomized study followed 1,179 healthy, postmenopausal women from rural eastern Nebraska.* Participants taking calcium, as well as a quantity of vitamin D3 nearly three times the U.S. government’s Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) for middle-age adults, showed a dramatic 60 percent or greater reduction in cancer risk than women who did not get the vitamin.

The results of the study, conducted between 2000 and 2005, were reported in the June 8 online edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

“The findings are very exciting. They confirm what a number of vitamin D proponents have suspected for some time but that, until now, have not been substantiated through clinical trial,” said principal investigator Joan Lappe, Ph.D., R.N., Creighton professor of medicine and holder of the Criss/Beirne Endowed Chair in the School of Nursing. “Vitamin D is a critical tool in fighting cancer as well as many other diseases.”

Other Creighton researchers involved in the study included Robert Recker, M.D.; Robert Heaney, M.D.; Dianne Travers-Gustafson, M.S.; and K. Michael Davies, Ph.D.

Research participants were all 55 years and older and free of known cancers for at least 10 years prior to entering the Creighton study. Subjects were randomly assigned to take daily dosages of 1,400-1,500 mg supplemental calcium, 1,400-1,500 mg supplemental calcium plus 1,100 IU of vitamin D3, or placebos. National Institutes of Health funded the study.

Over the course of four years, women in the calcium/vitamin D3 group experienced a 60 percent decrease in their cancer risk than the group taking placebos.

On the premise that some women entered the study with undiagnosed cancers, researchers then eliminated the first-year results and looked at the last three years of the study. When they did that, the results became even more dramatic with the calcium/vitamin D3 group showing a startling 77 percent cancer-risk reduction.

In the three-year analysis, there was no statistically significant difference in cancer incidence between participants taking placebos and those taking just calcium supplements.

Through the course of the study, 50 participants developed nonskin cancers, including breast, colon, lung and other cancers.

Lappe said further studies are needed to determine whether the Creighton research results apply to other populations, including men, women of all ages, and different ethnic groups. While the study was open to all ethnic groups, all participants were Caucasian, she noted.

There is a growing body of evidence that a higher intake of vitamin D may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of cancer, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.

Humans make their own vitamin D3 when they are exposed to sunlight. In fact, only 10-15 minutes a day in a bright summer sun creates large amounts of the vitamin, Lappe said. However, people need to exercise caution since the sun’s ultraviolet B rays also can cause skin cancer; sunscreen blocks most vitamin D production.

In addition, the latitude at which you live and your ancestry also influence your body’s ability to convert sunlight into vitamin D. People with dark skin have more difficulty making the vitamin. Persons living at latitudes north of the 37th parallel — Omaha is near the 41st parallel — cannot get their vitamin D naturally during the winter months because of the sun’s angle. Experts generally agree that the RDA** for vitamin D needs to be increased substantially, however there is debate about the amount. Supplements are available in two forms — vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Creighton researchers recommend vitamin D3, because it is more active and thus more effective in humans.

* Study participants came from the Nebraska counties of Douglas, Colfax, Cuming, Dodge, Saunders, Washington, Sarpy, Burt and Butler. ** RDA recommendations for vitamin D are 200 IU/d, birth-age 50; 400 IU/d, 50-70 years; and 600 IU/d, 70 years and older.
