What do you know about the impact of long term Vitamin-D Deficiency??
While the exact mechanisms and pathways are still subject to ongoing research (i.e., vitamin D deficiency and chronic illness are a bit of "what came first—the chicken or the egg?" situation), vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is consistently linked to a number of major diseases, including:
1. Breast cancer
2. Schizophrenia
3. Colorectal cancer
4. Cardiovascular disease
5. Diabetes
6. Osteoporosis
7. Alzheimer's disease
8. Dementia
9. Prostate cancer
10. Depression
For example: Of the 37,079 cardiovascular disease patients analyzed in a 2021 Frontiers in Nutrition cohort study, 57.5%2 had VDD. And according to a 2017 review from the journal Breast Cancer, up to 95.6%3 of the breast cancer population is also deficient in vitamin D!
