So, try to meet the sun often,\u201d says an article in Technorati.com \u2014 describing the study.  \u201cResearchers have found that genetic variations in the Vitamin D receptor and the enzyme, CYP24A1, which is responsible for deactivation of vitamin D, are linked to the increased chances of breast cancer in African American women. They have reported that vitamin D and CYP24A1 are significantly different in American women of African ancestry than in American women of European ancestry (EA),\u201d Technorati.com writes. \u201cThey worked on nearly 1800 AA and EA women and found that AA women had serious vitamin D deficiency than EAs. The lowest level has been found in women with highest African ancestry. Most important reason of this is the change in skin pigmentation.\u201d  To read the article click here.
