Vitamin D is present naturally in some foods but can also be acquired as a supplement or derived from ultraviolet from the sun. Ongoing research is exploring the role of vitamin D in the development and treatment of many diseases including cancer, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
Many Americans have succumbed to the scare tactics of the dermatological community, and avoid sunlight for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. Therefore, most of us suffer from vitamin D...
