Teens and Vitamin D
Teenagers who skimp on vitamin D may be at risk of serious lung disease later in life. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that teens who consumed one fourth less than the daily recommended dose of 200 IU--found in two cups of fortified milk--could not exhale the same volume of air as those who regularly took in the full amount, even though they didn't notice any shortness of breath. Lung function naturally declines over time, and starting out at a disadvantage may increase vulnerability to diseases like emphysema, says lead researcher Jane Burns, who presented the findings at the American Thoracic Society International Conference last week. Norman Edelman, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association, cautions against automatically adding supplements, however. In the past, beta carotene pills were thought to protect against lung cancer and turned out to do just the opposite, at least in smokers. Vitamin D is produced when skin is exposed to sunlight and is found in fish oil and egg yolks. - Jill Canada
