Living closer to the equator may protect you from endometrial cancer

Bad news for myself and other women who live in Canada, the land of 10-month winters: Recent studies show that those who live closest to the equator are less likely to develop endometrial cancer. It's believed that it all comes down to the amount of sunlight and the vitamin D that exposure to sun can produce. This sounds like a very good reason to spend winters in the tropics, don't you think? I might just have to check out some flights now ...

Sun exposure isn't the only factor in endometrial cancer though -- those who eat red meat or are overweight are also more likely to develop the disease.
