Insufficient Vitamin D In The Diet Could Mean Fatter Adolescents

Or it could not. Another meaningless association between something and the silver bullet vitamin du jour.
"Too little vitamin D could be bad for more than your bones; it may also lead to fatter adolescents, researchers say."
That is not what they said.

They said this:
"'This study was a cross-section so, while it cannot prove that higher intake of vitamin D caused the lower body fat, we know there is a relationship that needs to be explored further,' says Dr. Yanbin Dong, a molecular geneticist and cardiologist at the MCG Gerogia Prevention Institute."
Dong hit this one on the head.
