And, they deliver press releases to keep people from Canada (and the world) apprised of new and important findings. Hence, I would like to comment on the salient points of their latest release. As I do so, it is especially relevant to note that vitamin D levels are surrogate measures for sun exposure.\u00a0  The relationship of vitamin D to sun exposure  Ninety percent of vitamin D levels in the blood is due to sun exposure. The UVB portion of sunlight stimulates vitamin D production in skin. Therefore, a UVB light source, which produces vitamin D levels, is the best source in winter. Remember also that the press release information is true for the world, not just Canada.  Salient points about vitamin D levels and sunlight: breast cancer  First of all, consider a breast-cancer study published in the scientific journal, Plos One.\u00a0It showed that women with the highest vitamin D levels had a reduced breast-cancer risk. Most noteworthy, women with levels &gt; 60 ng\/ml had 82% reduced risk, compared to those with levels &lt; 20 ng\/ml. Furthermore, there was a dose-response decrease. For each increase in vitamin D levels, there was a concomitant decrease is breast-cancer risk.
