William B. Grant, Ph.D. was an author of this study and is Founding Director, Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center, an entity devoted to research, education, and advocacy relating to the prevention of chronic disease through changes in diet and lifestyle. His primary mission is to identify and quantify risk-modifying factors for chronic diseases. He is particularly interested in UVB and cancer and infectious diseases, but has also studied the role of dietary factors in disease risk.
Since he began his work on UVB/vitamin D and cancer in 2000, the list of vitamin D-sensitive cancers has grown from 5 to over 20. His paper in Cancer in 2002 identified 10 additional vitamin D-sensitive cancers. His findings have led to many other vitamin D studies. The scientific consensus it that 1000-4000 I.U. of vitamin D3 per day is indicated to reduce the risk of cancer by 50% and for optimal health in general, with 6000 IU/day recommended for pregnant and nursing women.
