10 Vitamin D3 Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #10: Colon Cancer
Diets low in vitamin D have been linked to colon cancer and gut issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. Colon cancer has become increasingly prevalent over the years. When it comes to colon cancer, diet is one of the most important factors in preventing the disease. Studies have shown a diet high in fat and red meat are linked to an increased risk of colon cancer.
For more than 20 years, studies have demonstrated that vitamin D offers some protection against colon cancer. For example, in 1996, Harvard researchers showed that higher levels of vitamin D in the bloodstream reduced the risk of colon cancer. In fact, the men with the highest total vitamin D intake were about 50% as likely to develop colon cancer compared to men who had the lowest total intake.
