In a report by the former US Surgeon General before retiring in 2007, he estimated that Americans would save $95 Billion/annually if we addressed Vitamin D deficiencies.

I think thats a conservative estimate.

I worked at a group at the University of Rochester that was funded, in part, by the Tobacco money. Our research collaborations included at least 4 future Nobel prize winners, significantly, understanding the genetic mechanisms behind human Papilloma Virus (HPV): one of the first Oncogenes (cancer causing viruses) discovered. We also discovered the COX2 enzyme and COX2 inhibitors, a class of drugs now in wide use.

Just think about it, if Cancer is cured, then we can all continue to smoke without worries. It’s basically a win-win situation. I don’t understand the controversy.
