Researchers compared more than 1,200 people with colorectal cancer to a matched control group that did not develop colorectal cancer; those with high levels of vitamin D were less likely to be in the colorectal cancer group. Researchers found no evidence that increasing vitamin D levels beyond a mid-level range provided any further benefit, and they say the long-term consequences of boosting vitamin D are not yet known.

PFOA is used in nonstick cookware and stain and water resistant coatings for carpets and floors --however, this study does not prove that PFOA causes thyroid disease.
