Rep Power: 26 | Are politicians vit D deficient? This article (IMHO) proves that most politicians are vitamin D deficient. It also proves (IMHO) that there is marked similarity between rats and most politicians. New research has suggested that a diet low in vitamin D causes damage to the brain. In addition to being essential for maintaining bone health, newer evidence shows that vitamin D serves important roles in other organs and tissue, including the brain. The UK study led by University of Kentucky researchers showed that middle-aged rats that were fed a diet low in vitamin D for several months developed free radical damage to the brain, and many different brain proteins were damaged as identified by redox proteomics. These rats also showed a significant decrease in cognitive performance on tests of learning and memory. "Given that vitamin D deficiency is especially widespread among the elderly, we investigated how during aging from middle-age to old-age how low vitamin D affected the oxidative status of the brain," lead author of the study Allan Butterfield, said. "Adequate vitamin D serum levels are necessary to prevent free radical damage in brain and subsequent deleterious consequences." Previously, low levels of vitamin D have been associated with Alzheimer's disease, and it's also been linked to the development of certain cancers and heart disease. http://www.authintmail.com/article/h...d-brain-damage |
