From Times wire reports

Vitamin D appears to lower the risk of colon, breast and ovarian cancer, say researchers who reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain cancers.

“There’s nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” said researcher Dr. Cedric Garland, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify foods with vitamin D.

The findings were published online in the American Journal of Public Health.
