Vitamin D Supplements Won't Help Prevent Disease: Review
Low levels of 'sunshine vitamin' could be a sign of illness, rather than a cause, studies suggest.
The observational studies showed a potential benefit from vitamin D. For example, vitamin D was associated with a 58 percent reduced risk of cardiovascular events, a 38 percent decreased risk of diabetes and a 34 percent decreased risk of colon cancer in these studies.Do your frakkin homework. Your relational studies are not the only ones in existence, idiot.
But, when the researchers looked to the randomized clinical trials that used vitamin D as a treatment, they failed to find any effect on disease occurrence or severity from raising vitamin D levels.
However, vitamin D did reduce the risk of dying from any cause in older people taking 800 international units a day, according to the review.
There are plenty of studies showing the metabolic and immunological pathways too.
Vitamin D is crucial in immune response. So yes, if you have an infection or allergy your vitamin D levels will be depleted.
However, if one increases those levels, AND TREATS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF THE ILLNESS, improvements can be realized.
All the conditions you studied have been shown to have microbial origins. Giving people vitamin D and telling them to eat more fruits and vegetables and exercise and take some statins is not going to overcome a lifelong respiratory or dental illness.
