Research
[edit]Giovannucci is known for his research into the health benefits of obtaining vitamin D through sunlight exposure.[4][5] He has said that for every death caused by skin cancer resulting from sun exposure, 30 deaths might be prevented due to increased vitamin D intake,[4] and that "It does seem that Vitamin D levels seem to be a real predictor of heart disease."[6] Other studies authored by Giovannucci have linked tomato consumption to a decreased risk of prostate cancer.[7][8]
