Breast cancer typically develops over a long period, anywhere from five to 20 years, and researchers believe that vitamin D's effect on curbing cancer-cell growth may be most powerful in the disease's early stages. That means that the cancers picked up in the seven-year WHI study may have already progressed beyond any potential to be influenced by the vitamin D supplementation.

In late October, Swedish researchers reported that the rate of heart attacks jumped following daylight savings time shifts in the spring and fall.

This revamped curriculum will directly benefit current students and classroom culture: Already, HSPH classes running under the new curriculum have been reported to be more interactive, engaging, and practical by the student body.
