Vitamin D deficiency linked to diabetes in study

I always enjoy reading "NaturalNews" and this time the Health Ranger is onto something big. There seems to be a correlation between the amount of people with diabetes, and the number of pale faces who swear by sunscreen (don't want skin cancer do we!) Here's what they are saying:

"One study published in the journal Diabetes Care explains that a simple 25 nanomole per liter (nmol/L), or 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), increase in blood levels of vitamin D results in a roughly 24 percent reduction in diabetes risk, while another study similarly reveals a correlation between high blood levels of vitamin D and reduced risk of diabetes.

Having been clinically diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, and thank goodness I found a doctor that knew to check for it, I now understand how important it is. I used to have joint pain, and since adding 5,000 I.U. of D3 with Iodine from Life Extension Foundation (www.lef.org) I no longer have any joint pain. I wonder if the people out there who have been taking over-the-counter pain killers for their joint pain have tried some Vitamin D? I wonder if the sunny Phoenix, AZ was a cure for arthritis pain because of the sunlight and the additional Vitamin D production in the body?

There is so much to be known about this vitamin, but meanwhile, check with your doctor and see that your levels are where they should be!
