Seventy percent of U.S. children are lacking the bare minimum vitamin D intake. A new study proves for the first time that low vitamin D is associated with earlier menstruation, a significant known risk factor for future breast cancer.
It has been known for several decades that starting one’s menstrual cycle before age 12 is associated with a 40 percent increased risk of breast cancer. This is simply due to the fact that the monthly surge in high estrogen levels, over the course of a lifetime, poses more risk for breast cancer. This is especially the case if combined with other health problems.
Low vitamin D poses other risks for young women, including difficulty building healthy bone at a critical bone growth phase, inefficient immune system function, and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. And of course, low vitamin D is, in itself, a risk factor for a number of cancers, including breast cancer.
It seems as if FDA public health officials are more than eager to administer dangerous vaccines for young women to prevent sexually transmitted disease and to provide free birth control allowing young women to live without social restraint. If vitamin D were a pharmaceutical drug, however, they would be recommending this to everyone.
