The new prescription for colon cancer prevention may soon include an afternoon in the sun followed by a tall glass of milk. Several new studies in the past year have shown that by maintaining adequate serum Vitamin D levels, individuals may successfully prevent colon cancer as well as several other internal cancers. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is
found in some foods and can also be made by your body during exposure to ultraviolet UV light from the sun. Since there are only a few commonly consumed foods that are good sources of vitamin D (see accompanying table), sunlight is perhaps the most important source of Vitamin D. UV rays from the sun initiate vitamin D synthesis in the skin. The extent of sunlight derived Vitamin D is impacted directly by factors that affect UV ray exposure including, season, geography, time of day, cloud cover, and sunscreen.
