And again, the data only showed this in people who had their levels tested and also died but did not correlate that high levels of vitamin D were the cause at all. The study did not, at all, look at cause of death, it Richard F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04008051626581862268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007684769272060630.post-53886266523660933632012-06-06T13:16:44.946-06:002012-06-06T13:16:44.946-06:00From the link: "The surprising finding is tha...From the link: "The surprising finding is that people with unusually high levels of vitamin D also had higher mortality: those above 140 nmol/l were 1.4 times more likely to die."

It showed that extremely elevated levels of vitamin D were bad, and it was only bad in those that they could correlate that died but also had the 25OH levels tested, but it wasn't proven that vitamin D was the cause. But if one supplements when necessary -- and it's pretty necessary in places like Denmark -- it does needRichard F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04008051626581862268noreply@blogger.com
