Would you ever have imagined that the people who live in the UAE in the middle east would be seriously at risk of vitamin D deficiency? 65% of females and 60% of males were vitamin D deficient in a recent study of 17,000 residents there. The latitude is just 24 degrees north of the equator!

I’ve got to think that it’s just too hot to get outside for most folks during the peak vitamin D hours of the day. It also may correlate with staying covered up as I’ve already mentioned in recent posts.

Wow, who would have imagined!
