Last fall in the journal Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology was published the controversial review, which the authors claimed that vitamin E does not reduce the risk of falls and fractures, and the proposed changes to the existing leadership. Overview made by researchers from New Zealand and Scotland.
The next day (!) After the publication of the British experts have reacted and dumped a bunch of denials.
The experts explained that the review was full of provocative studies in which participants or small, or low-dose vitamin, or short periods of observation. And in fact, we should wait for the results of another five studies in which 57,000 people are involved, and which should be published in 2019.
The greatest benefit from vitamin D are those with low levels in the blood. A controversial study in these participants was only 6%. New Zealand scientists for some reason, all piled in a heap, and naturally did not reveal any effect.
Some studies have been built here on this principle:
- Hello, Grandma! You last year ate vitamin D?
- No, young man, do not eat.
- Have you fallen in the past year?
- No, my dear, did not fall.
- It is clear, thank you, goodbye, Grandma!
That is, no one grandmother levels of vitamin D in the blood is not tested either before or after.
Immediately British experts recalled that the purpose of official recommendations was to give every citizen of the United Kingdom of 400 IU of vitamin D in order to increase the level of the whole population. Because the UK is still somewhere in infants are deficient in vitamin D. extreme
Such children rickets not only happens, but even convulsions and heart failure. So sometimes vitamin D may save a life, so no one in their right mind would limit its availability.
I already have seen references to the controversial review with calls not to give children vitamin D. Read popular horror stories about vitamin D?
