More on Vitamin D and Alzheimers

This study was just reported and commented on by the Vitamin D Council's Newsletter.  It's French.  They aren't so different. Bottom line -- those with high intake of Vitamin D - sunshine - omega3 fatty acids, or some combination of the above, had lower risks of Alzheimers 7 years later.  To paraphrase President Obama (who was speaking about energy policy), What's not to like ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Vitamin D supplements in Prostate Cancer

The latest newsletter of the Vitamin D Council pointed to a small study of Vitamin D3 supplementation for a year in low-grade prostate cancer.  It showed that at 4000 IU per day, the markers of cancer severity actually regressed.  But,..there were only 44 subjects in the study.  So, this is merely subjective.  Still, there is little to be lost in supplementing at 4000 IU.
