11 days after posting this it was interesting to read this....

SUNDAY JAN 27, 2008 (foodconsumer.org) -- Vitamin D insufficiency among African-Americans in the southeastern United States may be responsible for the cancer disparities between blacks and whites, according to a new study published in the Jan 25, 2008 issue of Cancer Causes Control.

Studies found there are disparities in incidence and mortality of cancer between African-Americans and Caucasians and news media has attributed the disparities to the poor healthcare or treatments blacks receive.
