Vitamin D: Sunshine and So Much More By Linda B. White, M.D. What do the following conditions have in common: osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer? Give up? Experts suspect that insufficient levels of vitamin D raise your risk of getting these diseases. Unfortunately, most of us probably are vitamin D deficient. About all I was taught in medical school is that vitamin D keeps bones strong. Recently however, this area of study has exploded as scientists uncover the vitamin’s far-reaching effects. Because it increases calcium levels, vitamin D indirectly fortifies bones and teeth. It also regulates cells all over the body, which explains vitamin D’s disparate roles, such as influencing insulin production and immune function, as well as helping prevent inflammation and cancer. http://www.motherearthnews.com/print...aspx?id=124236 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linda B. White, M.D., is an assistant professor of Health Professions at Metropolitan State College, Denver. Since researching this article, she’s upped her vitamin D dose. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
