Support grows for action over vitamin D deficiency

The “compelling” case that Scotland's poor health record could in part be laid at the door of widespread vitamin D insufficiency, as reported yesterday in The Times, has garnered support from across the medical world,

Oliver Gillie, a scientist and writer, spent five years studying the parallels betweeen climate, vitamin D deficiency and indices of disease in his publication Scotland's Health Deficit: An Explanation and a Plan. He found clear links between serious illness and lack of sunshine.

Colin Begg, from the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, New York, said : “I really think we need to find a way to undo the shortsightedness of the broad public campiagns that try to stop entire populaitons from being out in the sun ‘unprotected'.

“I grew up in Scotland, and I often recall my mother, on rare sunny days, exhorting me to go out and ‘soak up the sun' as it was good for me.”

I think it's great that science has gotten over the vitamin D phobia. It is unfortunate, however, that they have replaced it with vitamin A phobia. It is this single-minded, tunnel vision that allows to us overcompensate for past errors and not achieve the health levels we are entitled to. Without vitamin A, vitamin D can be a triuble-maker - particularly if it is the synthetic form that peopple will be buying in drug stores and dollar stores.

 

Grandma was right, get some sun and, when the sunlight is in decline, take some cod liver oil that contains vitamins A and D along with EPA and DHA--- On Tue, 9/16/08, Clares Primus <mcharris wrote:
