Watch this short 5-minute presentation of Dr. Mercola interviewing expert Dr. William Grant, internationally recognized research scientist and vitamin D expert. You'll discover how easily a million cancer deaths could be prevented each year worldwide -- just by the simple use of sunlight. Plus, why MORE of those living at higher, less sunny latitudes die from cancer...

Dr. Grant, whose background is in atmospheric sciences, has applied the ecologic approach to the study of dietary and environmental links to chronic disease. He has worked at the level of senior research scientist at such notable institutions as SRI International, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the NASA Langley Research Center.

More recently, Dr. Grant has uncovered exciting potential for the use of vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of a number of high-incidence cancers found in Western populations. He is the director of the Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center (SUNARC), an entity devoted to research, education, and advocacy relating to the prevention of chronic disease through changes in diet and lifestyle.

Dr. Grant has also authored or coauthored over 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals, edited two books of reprints, and contributed half a dozen chapters to other books.
