Vitamin D,Miracle drug?

The New York Times of February 1, 2010, ran an article titled “Vitamin D: Miracle Drug: Is it science, or just talk?” The author writes, “But don’t start gobbling down vitamin D supplements just yet. The excitement about their health potential is still far ahead of the science. Although numerous studies have been promising, there are scant data from randomized clinical trials. Little is known about what the ideal level of vitamin D really is, whether raising it can improve health, and what potential side effects are caused by high doses.“ The author adds many short quotations from distinguished scientists. Having been similarly quoted in the past, I know how such statements may not represent the scientist’s view. After reading that article, concerned friends have asked me whether taking vitamin D supplements is worthwhile. Here is my response based on years of reading peer-reviewed scientific literature about vitamin D. YES.

PERSONAL COMMENT: I am honored that so many people around the world have asked to receive my summaries of the latest peer-reviewed nutrition research. Having studied nutrition for many decades, I recognize that my summaries often reflect my scientific prejudices. Please read the brief article about the likely benefit of vitamin C and E supplements for telomere length and human health to see how heavily my beliefs may influence Nutrition Investigator notes. Going to professional meetings, I recognize my beliefs are debatable by others. You must read the articles at the links and discuss these comments with your health professional before acting on this information, as noted in the site disclaimer. And you are encouraged to ask questions, through the link at Site Author at the top of each page. One goal of these messages is to help you be conscious of what you put in your body. Thank you for the many kind responses and insightful questions I receive in return.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH FISH OIL? 1. Towards Dietary Reference Intakes for Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acids-consistent evidence from multiple research paradigms demonstrates a clear, inverse relation between EPA+DHA intake and risk of fatal (and possibly nonfatal) heart disease, providing evidence that supports a nutritionally achievable DRI for EPA+DHA between 250 and 500 mg/d.
2. Getting fish oil in the placenta -These essential fatty acids are important for proper fetal development and must be provided by the mother’s diet to provide good health.
3. Mother’s diet controls offspring obesity even at age 23 – Evidence from epidemiologic studies has shown that early undernutrition [poor diet of junk food and excess calories lacking nutrients like fish oil and folic acid] may be a determinant of obesity later in life.
