Take Vitamin D to Avoid Cancer, Diabetes By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs Tiger Woods won it in 2000, 2002, and 2008; Rory McIlroy won it in 2011; Jordan Spieth, in 2015. But what did these three have in common at the 2018 U.S. Open? This triple threat didn't even make the cut. Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same It's tough to see a triple threat like these guys booted out of the Open. But some triple threats need to be kicked to the sidelines. And that's what the mighty vitamin D may help do to breast cancer, colon cancer, and diabetes. A study from UC San Diego School of Medicine found that women over age 55 with higher levels of vitamin D — above 60 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) — had one-fifth the risk of breast cancer as those with less than the recommended levels (20-50 ng/ml). Another study, the largest of its kind, from the American Cancer Society, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the National Cancer Institute, found that lower levels of vitamin D are linked to colorectal cancer risk. Below current guidelines, a 31% increase in risk; above the guidelines, a 22% reduction in risk. Finally, a third study from UC San Diego School of Medicine and Seoul National University found that people with blood levels of vitamin D above 30 ng/ml had one-third of the risk of diabetes, and those with levels above 50 ng/ml had one-fifth the risk. So get a blood test to measure your D level, and if it's low, ask your doctor how to bring it up to 60 ng/ml or better with diet and supplements. Dr. Mehmet Oz is host of the popular TV show “The Dr. Oz Show.” He is a professor in the Department of Surgery at Columbia University and directs the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
