In this pivotal episode, Dr. Moss and his son, Ben, shed light on new insights into Vitamin D's role in cancer prevention, based on data from a study published in 2019. While the original research concluded that Vitamin D had no significant impact on cancer incidence, a meticulous reevaluation of the same data has revealed something crucial: Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention. Specifically, those with a 'normal' BMI showed a significant reduction in the incidence of advanced and metastatic cancers. Dr. Moss and Ben explore why these game-changing results haven't received the media attention they deserve and what this could mean for natural cancer prevention strategies. Tune in to this eye-opening discussion that presents the science you can't afford to ignore!

The German clinical trial: Prospective cohort comparison of flavonoid treatment in patients with resected colorectal cancer to prevent recurrence  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2703843/

Recommended parsley intake:

Approximately 0.79 tablespoons or 2.37 teaspoons of chopped fresh parsley would provide 10 mg of apigenin. TAKE about one tablespoon OR THE EQUIVALENT AMT. OF DRIED PARSLEY (SEE BELOW) TWICE PER DAY.

For 0.69 grams of dried parsley flakes: 0.69 grams / 0.8 grams per teaspoon ≈ 0.86 teaspoons So, approximately one teaspoon 0.86 teaspoons of dried parsley flakes would provide 10 mg of apigenin. OR TAKE THIS TWICE PER DAY.

NOTE: PATIENTS IN THE GERMAN STUDY ALSO RECEIVED EGCG (GREEN TEA) AT THE SAME TIME.

Based on the average amount of EGCG in one gram of Japanese Sencha green tea leaves (47.3 milligrams), and assuming that you're using one teaspoon (about 2.5 grams) of tea leaves to brew 6 ounces of tea, you can expect to get around 118.25 milligrams of EGCG in your cup of tea.
