Everywhere I turn this past month, I've been confronted with reports pouring in from all around the world, about the benefits of Vitamin D. Even Oprah got on the band wagon! Seems it's the absolute flavour of the month, and whilst it's always good to take any 'new discovery' slowly, the evidence would certainly appear compelling.
An article out of Germany goes so far as to suggest a saving of 37.5 billion euros on the annual health bill, if correct levels of Vitamin D were maintained by the population. Increasing recommended daily intake would go a long way to reducing a myriad of health conditions connected to low levels of Vitamin D. Seems pretty simple really, so one can only wonder why the powers that be, have held the levels so low for so long ?
A really interesting article from the Science Daily in the US, as far back as 2007, comments that almost half of all breast cancers, and one third of colo-rectal cancers, diagnosed, may be prevented, by taking 2000 international units of Vitamin D3 a day, or getting 10 - 15 minutes of sunshine.
Interesting that it's taken this long to filter down, to the mainstream press!
