In the preceeding 50 years, a lot of research work has been undertaken to study the relationship between vitamin D, calcium and the properties and effects on cancer risk.

So in the 1950's some scientists premeditated weather conditions and health information in warmer countries of the world to institute that more sunshine gives a richer supply of vitamin D which was the explanation given for the lowest death rates from colon cancers in those countries. Since the 1950's studies have sustained to establish a positive link between vitamin D and calcium and the prevention of cancer, right from prostrate cancer to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This is especially accurate in cases of colon cancers.

Just recently there have been a couple of studies published with evidence about how calcium and vitamin D prevent cancer. When Harvard researchers conducted the first study with women who had not gone through menopause, it showed woman with elevated levels of vitamin D and calcium have a slighter likelihood of developing breast cancer than women with lesser levels of these nutrients. When Harvard researchers began the second study they came to the same summary, and resulted that vitamin D and calcium products facilitate with the diminution of different kinds of cancer. These studies give us the evidence we need to understand the benefits of calcium and vitamin D in regards to preventing cancer.

It was Otto Warburg that won the Nobel Prize in 1932 and came up with the assumption that cancer is caused by a deficiency of oxygen in the body. The blood in our bodies must always keep a steady alkaline level at a pH balance of 7.4; this will then help retain the body's oxygen. To uphold the alkaline in the body you should consume a good number of minerals in your daily diet, if you don't consume enough minerals this can lead to heart diseases, arthritis and other serious diseases because of body fluids turning from alkaline to acid as they aren't getting enough oxygen.
