Little d in dairy. (updates).(health notes)(Brief Article)
Many young American adults don't get enough vitamin D, particularly during the winter months. And according to new research, milk is not useful in increasing those levels--but dietary supplements are.
Adults aged 18 to 29 years have an "equal-to-greater risk" of vitamin D deficiency compared to older adults. Reported in the June 2002 issue of the American Journal of Medicine, this is one of the first studies in the United States revealing a relatively substantial vitamin D deficiency in young adults. Earlier, a Harvard Medical School study--published in the March 1998 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine--suggested that up to 40 percent of Americans might have a vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D, available from dietary sources, helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorous. This nutrient is also made by the body when skin is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency puts people at risk for osteoporosis, as well as chronic bone and muscle pain. Low levels of vitamin D also increase the risk of a number of different cancers.
