While vitamin D has shown promise in some areas of cancer prevention and treatment, the evidence is not strong enough to support the claim that it is one of nature's most potent cancer fighters. It should not be seen as a standalone solution. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/vitamin-d-fact-sheet https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2018/vitamin-d-supplement-cancer-prevention https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/sun-uv-and-cancer/sun-and-vitamin-d https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/does-vitamin-d-have-role-cancer-prevention https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/taking-too-much-vitamin-d-can-cloud-its-benefits-and-create-health-risks

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1814336903895773537

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
