Meat sensitivity spread by ticks (cardiac) + More vitamin D decreases breast cancer risk
Meat sensitivity spread by ticks linked to heart disease
SUMMARY: Researchers have linked sensitivity to an allergen in red meat -- a sensitivity spread by tick bites -- with a buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries of the heart. This buildup may increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Greater levels of vitamin D associated with decreasing risk of breast cancer
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20...154523.htm
EXCERPT: Researchers [...] suggest higher levels of vitamin D are associated with decreasing risk of breast cancer. [...] The scientists pooled data from two randomized clinical trials with 3,325 combined participants and a prospective study involving 1,713 participants to examine the association between risk of female breast cancer and a broad range of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations, which was chosen as the marker because it is the main form of vitamin D in blood. [...] "We found that participants with blood levels of 25(OH)D that were above 60 ng/ml had one-fifth the risk of breast cancer compared to those with less than 20 ng/ml," said principal investigator and co-author Cedric F. Garland [...] Risk of cancer appeared to decline with greater levels of serum vitamin D....
