Dr. Oz: Take Vitamin D to Avoid Cancer, Diabetes By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs Tiger Woods won it in 2000, 2002, and 2008; Rory McIlroy won it in 2011; Jordan Spieth, in 2015. But what did these three have in common at the 2018 U.S. Open? This triple threat didn't even make the cut. It's tough to see a triple threat like these guys booted out of the Open. But some triple threats need to be kicked to the sidelines. And that's what the mighty vitamin D may help do to breast cancer, colon cancer, and diabetes. Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same A study from UC San Diego School of Medicine found that women over age 55 with higher levels of vitamin D — above 60 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) — had one-fifth the risk of breast cancer as those with less than the recommended levels (20-50 ng/mL). Another study, the largest of its kind, from the American Cancer Society, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the National Cancer Institute, found that lower levels of vitamin D are linked to colorectal cancer risk. Below current guidelines, a 31% increase in risk; above the guidelines, a 22% reduction in risk. Finally, a third study from UC San Diego School of Medicine and Seoul National University found that people with blood levels of vitamin D above 30 ng/mL had one-third of the risk of diabetes, and those with levels above 50 ng/mL had one-fifth the risk. So get a blood test to measure your D level, and if it's low, ask your doctor how to bring it up to 60 ng/mL or better with diet and supplements.

Their conclusion? Most adults do not consume an optimal quantity of vitamins by diet alone. It's not surprising. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 76% of adults don't eat enough fruit. And 87% of adults don't eat enough vegetables. So here's what Harvard researchers recommended:  "Every adult should take a multivitamin daily as a safe and inexpensive way to optimize health." According to the Harvard School of Public Health website: "A daily multivitamin is an inexpensive nutrition insurance policy. Try to take one every day." Unfortunately, 3 out of 5 adults fail to take multivitamins. Plus, typical multivitamin formulas often forget to add enough antioxidants. These antioxidants are necessary to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals. What's more, nutritional shortfalls are even more common in those folks over 50. Older people have a diminished ability to absorb the vitamins they need. And the diets of older adults often lack sufficient key nutrients, particularly antioxidants. Plus, certain medications also deplete the aging body of nutrients. These issues worried four respected physicians on the Medix Select Medical Advisory Board. So they joined forces to develop the comprehensive multivitamin formula ALPHA32™. An Inexpensive Nutrition Insurance Policy Perfect for Seniors ALPHA32 includes 32 key nutrients, including antioxidant-containing vitamins A, C, E, D, and folate.
