Many news outlets have published articles recently highlighting the benefits - and risks - of Vitamin D. A study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that those with the lowest vitamin D levels have more than double the risk of dying from heart disease and other causes over an eight-year period compared with those with the highest vitamin D levels. Newspapers across the country are picking up on this and are writing highlighting the correlation between decreased outdoor activity and the increased-risk of heart disease stemming from low levels of Vitamin D.
