More on vitamin D

It seems like almost every few days a new study on the benefits of vitamin D emerges.
Recently, the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) Panel on Dietetic Products concluded that "a cause and effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of vitamin D and contribution to the normal function of the immune system and healthy inflammatory response, and maintenance of normal muscle function”.

This just adds the ever mounting evidence supporting the importance of adequate amounts of vitamin D in the diet.

Now, all we need is for the health authorities in Canada to commission more studies and show Canadians how safe it is to take vitamin D supplements.
