According to info I read in Reader's Digest (a "leading medical journal," I'm sure) and other sources, factors that impact Vitamin D absorption make cancer worse for blacks than for whites. I recall that one article said that the further north one gets in North America, the more devastating the impact cancer has on a black person ... that a black person living in places farther north with less sunshine (like Canada) is more apt to have a fatal cancer than does a black person still living in Africa.

My sister was not black, but her breast cancer was deadly. If you have a loved one die from the disease, it doesn’t make sense to hear that it is more deadly for “other” people. Dead is dead.
