For years doctors have debated the effects of vitamin D on diabetes. There are those who believe that the risk of diabetes increases when vitamin D is in short supply while others maintain that there is little or no health benefit at all to increasing vitamin D intake.
Now, researchers from the Tufts Medical Center have received a $40 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to finally settle the great vitamin D debate, particularly where it concerns the development of Type 2 diabetes. Often hailed as the ?sunshine vitamin,? Americans now spend some $425 million a year on these supplements in the hopes of improving any number of ailments, including the possible prevention of type 2 diabetes.
