Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Reporting in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the study authors announce that taking vitamin D supplements does not affect breast-cancer rates. After a seven-year period, women who took 400 IUs of vitamin D daily had the same rates of breast cancer as those not taking the supplements. (See TIME's A-Z Health Guide...
...women participating in the WHI - a multiyear government trial investigating a range of women's health issues, from hormone therapy to heart disease, cancer and fracture risk - half were given 1,000 mg of calcium and 400s IU of vitamin D daily, while the other half were not.

Earlier observational trials had found positive links between women's taking higher amounts of supplemental vitamin D and lower breast-cancer...
...breast-cancer rates. 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. "This is an important study, and a well-done study, but the major question of whether vitamin D is important in breast cancer remains to be answered," says Norton. "These results...
