Lawrenceville, NJ (Dr. Simone) – People who have high levels of vitamin D in their bloodstream have enhanced immunity and a lower risk for colorectal cancer.  Vitamin D boosts immune system function by activating T cells that recognize and attack cancer cells.  This is the first study to show that high vitamin D levels are associated with a lower risk for colorectal cancer and anticancer immune function, supporting a role of vitamin D in cancer immunoprevention through tumor-host interaction.  (Song. Gut. Jan 15, 2015).
