5. Prostate cancer and low vitamin D
There’s some evidence that low levels of vitamin D may play a role in prostate health. One recent study found that prostate cancer may be among the illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency.
Scientists looked at vitamin D levels in 660 men ages 40 to 79 who were undergoing prostate biopsies. The link between prostate cancer and vitamin D seemed especially strong in African American men, with results indicating that African American men with vitamin D deficiency were more likely to test positive for the cancer compared to other men with normal vitamin D levels.
Though the study didn’t prove that low levels of vitamin D led to prostate cancer, it showed that the two factors may be associated and also that you may help reduce your risk of developing the disease by ensuring you get enough vitamin D.

I really hate when this happens. You say 10 health diseases with low Vitiam D, but never say what they are. If you going to start please finish.
Ask my doctor, no money in telling patients to take preventative measures for future illness.
What are the 10 illnesses?
What a stupid waste of time NOT ONE FREAKING DISEASE WAS TALKED ABOUT. I will never read anything sent yp me by you people Useless!!!!!!!
I want to read a article without having to jump through so many icons just to finish the one I’m interested in.
Same goes for this company selling a bottle of vitamins, slapping their name on the bottle & selling to nerve problem patients instead of just informing patients of the name & formula of these vitamins. Shame, shame.
