YouTube – Vitamin D and Prevention of Chronic Diseases.

This is a long video on the importance of vitamin D, but it is really worth the time.  Michael F. Holick  PhD, MD from Boston University’s School of Medicine explains in great detail the importance of vitamin D and how deficiency in this vital vitamin effects the body.  The lecture is at times humorous and very interesting.  He touches on Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) in this lecture as well as MultipleSclerosis(MS) and cancer as three specific diseases that can be tied to vitamin d deficiency.  I really think that this video is worth the time investment.  I know that I will be increasing my vitamin D intake after seeing this lecture and I wish I had see it before my earlier post on vitamin D and RA because  I would have added this video to the previous post. I feel that what Dr. Holick has to say is really important and that is why I am revisiting the topic.
