Here’s some interesting news: recent studies report that monitored sun exposure can help reduce risk to breast cancer. Sounds hard to believe? Well it all has to do with obtaining the most absorbable form of protective vitamin D possible–from the sun.

Dr. Mercola posted the results of the study on his site. Here’s an excerpt:

Exposure to sunlight may reduce your risk of advanced breast cancer, according to new research from Stanford University.

The study followed 4,000 women between the ages of 35 and 79, and evaluated the effects of long-term sun exposure. Women with a light skin color who had high sun exposure had half the risk of developing advanced breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast) as women with low sun exposure.

Check out Dr. Mercola for more details and his input. Good news for us sun worshipers but caution should still be taken regarding how much sun exposure we all get.
