I’ve been on vacation!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. We had a week vacation and I decided to stay off of the computer to help refresh my brain a little. I’ve also started coaching fall baseball which tends to take up a fair amount of my free time. Add to this getting our kids ready for a new school year and well, I think you see why I’ve been away. Although I’ve taken a few weeks off, the headlines about vitamin D deficiency have not. Here are some of the headlines since I’ve been away:

New York Times - Vitamin D May Play Larger Role in Health

Johns Hopkins Gazette - Low Vitamin D Levels Pose a Large Threat to Health

U.S. News & World Report - Low Vitamin D Raises Women’s Hip Fracture Risk

The Associated Press - Vitamin D’s wild days: Who to test, what to take?

Times of India - Vitamin D, which the body makes when exposed to sunlight, may help prevent multiple sclerosis (MS), suggests a new study.
