    Vitamin D & Cancer: The VITAL Information You Must Know

    Vitamin D & Cancer: The VITAL Information You Must Know

    In this pivotal episode, Dr. Moss and his son, Ben, shed light on new insights into Vitamin D's role in cancer prevention, based on data from a study published in 2019. While the original research concluded that Vitamin D had no significant impact on cancer incidence, a meticulous reevaluation of the same data has revealed something crucial: Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention. Specifically, those with a 'normal' BMI showed a significant reduction in the incidence of advanced and metastatic cancers. Dr. Moss and Ben explore why these game-changing results haven't received the media attention they deserve and what this could mean for natural cancer prevention strategies. Tune in to this eye-opening discussion that presents the science you can't afford to ignore!

Fantastic Health Information

All of Dr. Moss’s podcasts are excellent, but I’m particularly enjoying the current series he has been recording with his son. The information is easy to understand and apply to one’s life. Anyone interested in cancer prevention and treatment would benefit from listening. The older interviews on alternative treatments are also very valuable.

Science based advice

Excellent science based advice on dealing with cancer. I’ve been making diet and lifestyle changes based on what I’ve learned since being diagnosed with early stage cancer. My cancer has improved and thus far I have not required treatment, just active surveillance.
