"Individuals in families characterized by longevity tend to have low levels of 25(OH) vitamin D, Dutch researchers found.

Offspring of parents who lived into their 90s had significantly lower levels of 25(OH) vitamin D compared with controls (64.3 nmol/L versus 68.5 nmol/L, P=0.002), according to Diana van Heemst, PhD, of Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues."

I don't believe this for one second. Ive seen plenty of studies proving otherwise. Wonder who paid this "researcher" off to publish garbage

So they had insignificantly lower levels.

What does that prove?  Nothing as far as I can see. Study says control group and studied group had a "similar" intake of Vitamin D from food and supplements.

How similar?  Enough to make a 4.2nmo/L difference?

How much sun does each group get?

How does their body metabolize it, are they getting the vitamins/minerals needed to benefit from Vitamin D, like Magnesium, K, zinc, selenium?

Does the fact that their parents lived into there 90s have any correlation whatsoever to their offspring's current Vitamin D level?  I mean, should we [u]expect[/u] them to have higher levels for some reason?

I don't get their point.

Just another "scientific" study they will use to dumb down the masses and demonize a much-needed vitamin.
