Exciting new research conducted at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska has revealed that supplementing with vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by an astonishing 77 percent. This includes breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and other forms of cancer. This research provides strong new evidence that vitamin D is the single most effective medicine against cancer, far outpacing the benefits of any cancer drug known to modern science.

The study involved 1,179 healthy women from rural Nebraska. One group of women was given calcium (around 1500 mg daily) and vitamin D (1100 IU daily) while another group was given a placebo. Over four year, the group receiving the calcium and vitamin D supplements showed a 60 percent decrease in cancers. Considering just the last three years of the study reveals an impressive 77 percent reduction in cancer due to supplementation.

MAYOR BOOKER BARES FUNERAL FURY

We should all take responsibility," Booker said, his voice booming through the Metropolitan Baptist Church.

"We should raise our children. We should all stand together.

Less than an hour later, at the service for Aeriel, Booker said, "I will not break, I will not bow, I will not give in. This issue will not define us."

Booker then apologized for not doing enough to protect the city's children.

"I want to repent to this church. I've made mistakes in this city," Booker said.

The mayor wasn't the only leader to apologize to mourners yesterday.

"I bring an apology that we did not prevent this tragedy," Newark Police Director Gary McCarthy said at Hightower's funeral, before vowing to bring all of the monsters who executed the college-bound teen to justice.

No, I Didn't Bounce It!

The New Republic editors have once again waded into the Beauchamp affair. The latest note of theirs is an odd little affair. It begins by whining that “many of the questions (regarding the Diarists' accuracy) have been formulated by people with ideological agendas."

While this crack is clearly a non-sequitur, it's still gratifying to see the Editors for once stumble into a kernel of truth. Like I've been saying from the start of this matter, regardless of the Diarists' accuracy, the editorial decision to run them without putting them into context of the 160,000 men and women who are serving nobly in Iraq represented an unconscionable slander on our troops. That's why this story has so agitated so many of TNR's critics. For the people who know our soldiers, who are in contact with them and who really do support them rather than just mouth disingenuous rhetoric to that effect, the Beauchamp Diarists were grotesquely unfair.
