In a great study recently published in Diabetes Care, Vitamin D was shown to dramatically reduce the chance of developing Type 2 Diabetes. The study is found here- Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentration and Subsequent Risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

The study followed over 4,000 individuals for 17 years and people with low 25-Hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were much more likely to develop the disease. Maintaining adequete Vitamin D levels reduces the chance of getting Type 2 Diabetes by about %40 which is significant.

Vitamin D is perhaps the most beneficial supplement available. So many studies have shown how it can reduce diseases, it really is a miracle supplement. I invite you to read all about Vitamin D over at the Vitamin D Council website which was established to disseminate health information about this potent vitamin.
