Vit A....eye problems including blindness; stunting of growth in children; dry scaly skin and prone to infections.

Vit D....bone softening in adults and improper bone growth in children.

Vit E....breakdown of the re blood cells; heart disease; potential nerve damage leading to pain, numbness and weakness, especially in the hands and feet.

      I wouldn't have a clue about the causes of cancer and as for your aquantince I don't really have enough data about them, where they live, lifestyle, personal relationship between the husband and wife etc etc to even much of an opinon to offer; and certainly not a diagnosis even if I had all the data since the only thing I'm really qualified for is raising my daughter in a healthy manner and in that I think I succeded, but thank you for commenting and keep it coming.

    Yes I was thinking since they both got it they may've been exposed to something in their local environment.
