Request for a research thread to be posted on Benicar Group

[Guest guest]

I seem to call a thread of

Benicar --> reduced 1,25D.

The reduction of 1,25D levels is associated with increased cancer

rates...

Hence: Long term Benicar --> possible increased Cancer Risk....

You may wish to include the following citations...:

The 1,25D --> Cancer

" vitamin D 3 analogs induce regression of tumors via induction of

growth arrest and apoptosis in both estrogen dependent tumors (MCF-7)

and late stage, invasive, estrogen independent tumors (SUM159) "

" Individuals whose 1,25D and 25D levels fell below the population

median were at increased risk of developing advanced prostate cancer "

" vitro and in vivo studies, a biologically active form of vitamin D,

1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1,25D) inhibited proliferation of

cancer cells, "
