The Maine Medical Center Research Institute is recruiting hundreds of Mainers to take a Vitamin D pill or a placebo as part of a massive, $40 million National Institutes of Health study on whether Vitamin D can prevent Type 2 diabetes.
To inquire about participating in Maine Medical Center Research Institute’s Vitamin D and diabetes study, call 661-7624. The research institute is currently accepting applications from those who might be at risk of Type 2 diabetes. For more information on the study, go to www.d2dstudy.org.
Vitamin D’s potential power to do that is a much-debated topic among medical researchers.
“Right now, it’s magical thinking,” said Dr. Clifford Rosen, a senior scientist at the research institute who has participated in debates all over the country regarding Vitamin D, playing the role of the skeptic. “But I always lose the debates, because people want to believe Vitamin D will help them.”
