D is For Defense against Diabetes

by Joi on January 14, 2006

Tufts University ran a study on vitamin D and how it affected women, specifically in their likelihood of getting diabetes. The researchers say that getting adequate vitamin D daily in food and supplements apparently helps stop type 2 diabetes.

Their study ran for 20 years and included 81,700 women. Those with the highest vitamin D intake had a 28% lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those with the lowest.

Good sources of vitamin D are: Milk, eggs, and fatty fish.
