Bravo on the good doctor for calling out the disparities between minorities (black men esp) who are diagnosed with Prostate cancer because of a Vitamin D deficiency.
THANKFULLY, the economic barriers are not what they used to be,, back when, as far as professional minorities. But where there is economic trouble, certain foods and produces that would aid in building Vitamin D levels, (Fresh Fish) as well as supplements, either aren't affordable or aren't even considered. Guys would not be seen 'dead' as it were, having fresh fish with wild rice when a fish fillet at McD's would be more the style when hanging out with friends.
A facebook friend, a young black man, in....about his mid-20's likes really rich foods. A while back, he developed a kidney stone. "The closest a man ever wants to come, to giving birth!" I hope he's changed his diet since then. I was having chest pains just LOOKING at what he was eating! And if eating habits don't change, Prostate Cancer might not be an issue, or TIE with Cardio issues.
QUESTION: How much of a role does HEREDITY play in whether a man (regardless of race) is diagnosed with Prostate cancer?
Vitamin D is only part of the picture.
Genetics plays a big part.
Thankfully, the good doctor is working to unravel such medical mysteries.
