Subject: Study shows low vitamin D levels linked to increased risk of bladder cancer
After reviewing seven separate studies, researchers have come to the conclusion that low vitamin D levels can cause bladder cancer. The theory is that vitamin D activates the immune response within the transitional epithelial cells of the bladder. The immune cells are then able to identify and destroy cells before they can become cancer. If vitamin D levels are low, the immune response is negatively affected. This research counteracts the previous theory that bladder cancer is genetic.
Key Takeaways:
- The researchers went further and tested a specific kind of cell that lines the bladder: transitional epithelial cells.
- If a relative has bladder cancer, we are told that we will get it too because of genetic predisposition.
- When it comes to cancer, we have learned to fear our own DNA and accept that we will inherit our family's health problems.
