Within the last half a century research has been carried out to study the relationship between calcium, vitamin D and its effects on cancer risk.
So in the 1950’s some scientists premeditated weather situations and health statistics in warmer regions of the world to authenticate that more the sunshine, more is the supply of Vitamin D, which was the cause given for the lowest death rates from colon cancers in those regions. Many studies since then have established the existence of a positive link between vitamin D and calcium and the prevention of cancer, this can be prostate cancer right through to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This is especially accurate in cases of colon cancers.

In recent times there has been new evidence released from studies 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 smaller levels of these minerals. When Harvard researchers began the second study they came to the same result, and established that vitamin D and calcium supplements assist with the decline of different kinds of cancer. It is with these studies being carried out that we now have knowledge and evidence to figure out 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. An alkaline level of pH 7.4 in the blood stream must be kept to help retain the bodies free oxygen supply. To preserve the alkaline in the body you should regularly take a good number of minerals in your daily diet, too little mineral consumption 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.
