Low vitamin D tied to higher body fat in women

Forget the Calories. Here is the clear cause of overfatness.

"Overweight? Part of the problem may be low vitamin D levels, a new study hints.

Among a group of 90 young women living in sunny southern California, those with insufficient levels of vitamin D were significantly heavier and had greater body mass than their counterparts with sufficient levels of vitamin D, Dr. Vicente Gilsanz, of Children's Hospital Los Angeles and colleagues found.

These findings suggest 'obesity is related to vitamin D insufficiency,' Gilsanz told Reuters Health."

There can be no other conclusion.

Though, these crack(pot) researchers need to do the ultimate test.

Feed alleged Vitamin D deficient women fewer Calories per day than they burn and see if they get fat.

Any bets?

"Vitamin D, which regulates bone metabolism, is mostly obtained through exposure of the skin to direct sunlight. Insufficient vitamin D is thought to impact bone health, and may play a role in obesity."

Maybe fatso women do not receive enough sunlight through their muumuus.



Whatever.

It is never the Calories in the medicalization of this non-medical problem.

Which is why the matter will never get fixed.

Wrong tool for the job.

And we are all going to continue to pay for this abject stupidity.
