Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Article Excerpt http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/ 2008/10/081009162743.htm Vitamin D A Key Player In Overall Health Of Several Body Organs, Says Biochemist ScienceDaily (Oct. 13, 2008) — Essential for life in higher animals, vitamin D, once linked to only bone diseases such as rickets and osteoporosis, is now recognized as a major player in contributing to overall human health, emphasizes UC Riverside's Anthony Norman, an international expert on vitamin D. In a paper published in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Norman identifies vitamin D's potential for contributions to good health in the adaptive and innate immune systems, the secretion and regulation of insulin by the pancreas, the heart and blood pressure regulation, muscle strength and brain activity. In addition, access to adequate amounts of vitamin D is believed to be beneficial towards reducing the risk of cancer. Norman also lists 36 organ tissues in the body whose cells respond biologically to vitamin D. The list includes bone marrow, breast, colon, intestine, kidney, lung, prostate, retina, skin, stomach and the uterus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Please be careful of "fractional" thinking. You cannot consider large doses of vitamin D without some vitamin A at the least. The fatty membrane of each cell depends on all the fat-soluble vitamins being present at the same time, whether it be from food or supplements. Be sure that when following singular recommendations for vitamin D, that vitamins A, E and K are ingested in appeciable quantities at the same time These are not key to only "several" body organs but ALL body organs. --- On Mon, 10/20/08, rpautrey2 <rpautrey2 wrote: rpautrey2 <rpautrey2 Vitamin D A Key Player In Overall Health Of Several Body Organs Date: Monday, October 20, 2008, 5:28 AM Article Excerpt http://www.scienced aily.com/ releases/2008/10/08100916274 3.htmVitamin D A Key Player In Overall Health Of Several Body Organs, Says BiochemistScienceDaily (Oct.. 13, 2008) — Essential for life in higher animals, vitamin D, once linked to only bone diseases such as rickets and osteoporosis, is now recognized as a major player in contributing to overall human health, emphasizes UC Riverside's Anthony Norman, an international expert on vitamin D.In a paper published in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Norman identifies vitamin D's potential for contributions to good health in the adaptive and innate immune systems, the secretion and regulation of insulin by the pancreas, the heart and blood pressure regulation, muscle strength and brain activity.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I totally agree with that and I use cod liver oil with perfectly wonderful results, would not trade it until I can no longer get it. With it, it seems we have built immunity to most everything that goes around. What do you normally recommend for those who do not like to use cod liver oil?
