Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Vitamin D can lower your cancer risk unless you're obese. Very interesting new

study was actually last November 25,000 people over five years and they found

that if you have enough vitamin D there's a 20% less chance of developing

cancer unless you are obese. Now we'll get into the why but if you read further

they also compared people that were overweight versus normal weight. So if you're

not overweight and you have enough vitamin D you have a 38% less chance of

developing cancer. Fascinating and this is only using 2,000 international units

of vitamin D per day. Now I recommend a lot more, minimally 10,000 I use and it would

be interesting to see if they studied that point and I'm going to I'm going to circle

back to that the reasoning behind that but the question is why did they see no benefit

in the obese? Well it has to do with vitamin D resistance. The more overweight you are,

the more resistance to vitamin D you become. In fact the more insulin resistant you're

going to become as well and there's definitely a connection between insulin and vitamin D which

is in another video. But the point is that if you're overweight that vitamin D is a hard

time getting in your body and this also explains why people that get enough sun like in Saudi

Arabia for example they're deficient especially if they're obese or overweight. Now obesity

is linked with chronic low grade inflammation and cancer tends to exist when there's more

inflammation it tends to spread in areas of inflammation there's a high correlation with

people with inflammation and cancer. Also when you're obese you have systemic dysfunction

of the natural killer cells. That's part of the immune system that actually does two things.
