I am delighted to see so many studies coming out on vitamin D and its role in human health. Over and over again they corroborate what I wrote about in my book that we all need higher levels of vitamin D to keep ourselves healthy, especially in this day of the health-care crisis our country is experiencing.
Another new PROSPECTIVE study showing the relationship between low vitamin D levels and higher likelihood of death from cardiovascular disease and all other causes of death has just been published in the prestigious Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

A new study has just been recently published in the prestigious journal Pediatrics. The study looked at the prevalence and associations of vitamin D deficiency in United States children from 2001 to 2004.
A new study showing a link between vitamin D levels and successful weight loss was presented at the Endocrine Society’s 91st Annual Meeting in Washington DC.

I will be interviewed tonight on website Radio Liberty on the Web and invite all my readers to listen to my interview with Dr Stan the host of the show.the show will be from 8 to 9 pm PDT.
We will of course be talking about the importance of Vitamin D for all of us.
Hope to see you there!

Many postmenopausal women who have had treatment for breast cancer take a category of drug called Aromatase Inhibitors after their primary treatment for the cancer is completed. The purpose of this drug is to block any estrogen formation that may further stimulate the recurrence of breast cancer.
This category of drugs has many side effects for the women taking it. One of the most common side effects is musculoskeletal symptoms including joint pain.
