The optimal daily intake of vitamin D is not known, although many believe it should be higher than it is for most people living in sun deprived countries.

However, data analysis of nine case-control studies from the International Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control Consortium seem to show a small association between pancreatic cancer risk and increasing dietary vitamin D intake.

Remember, though, that data trawls like this are prone to confounding.
