Let’s talk vitamin-d. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Staying Young Medical Minute. Vitamin-d is essential for bone growth and health. When deficient, bones can become fragile and brittle. Did you know that it affects breast health too? Well, a new study out of Brazil suggests there is a link between having low vitamin-d and developing breast cancer. In the study, women with lower levels of vitamin-d after going through menopause were at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than those with normal levels. The National Cancer Institute has estimated that over twelve percent of women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at least once in their lifetime. It’s time to start paying attention to your vitamin-d. Make sure that your levels are checked yearly and don’t forget about that mammogram!
