Many African Americans Fall Short on Vitamin D

post from Vital to Health and Wellness Blog on 14 May 2009 03:49:16 PM. © Vital to Health and Wellness Blog

Dark skin means less Vitamin D absorbed.

Dark skin works as a natural shield against the sunlight. Consequently, many people with darker skin are less likely to wrinkle or develop sunburn or skin cancer (though those of Asian and African decent are more likely to have advanced skin cancer by the time it is diagnosed and melanoma is frequently fatal for African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans).

Because their skin naturally blocks out more sunlight, people with darker skin also absorb less sunlight and therefore produce less vitamin D. Studies show that African Americans are one group that is very likely to have low circulating levels of vitamin D. Studies have even shown that a high percentage of African American teenage boys have low vitamin D levels. And, as we know, teenage boys tend to eat everything in site and yet in some groups studied they still did not’t meet their vitamin D needs!

A nationwide study found levels considered:

Extremely low
• African Americans: 29%
• Mexican Americans: 7.5%
• Non-Hispanic whites: 2.5%

Too low for optimum health
• African Americans: 97%
• Mexican Americans: 90%
• Non-Hispanic whites: 71%

Source: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of more than 13,000 teens and adults from 2001 to 2004

Moral of the research story – if you are an African American and you don’t consume 3-4 glasses of milk or vitamin D fortified soy or almond milk daily, make sure you take a vitamin D supplement. Getting enough sun can be very difficult as it takes much longer for a dark skinned individual to make enough vitamin D compared to light skin. Vitamin D is vital for bone health and the immune system and may even help prevent some types of cancer and chronic pain. Vitamin D supplements for children are especially important. A liquid vitamin D supplement is the perfect way to make sure children get their vitamin D also.

In Canada: Five Multiple Sclerosis Research
Centres Established

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 14, 2009) - In a move intended to significantly accelerate the pace of MS research, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada announced the establishment of five research and training centres involving over 100 established scientists and 250 trainees.

The entities, dubbed endMS Regional Research and Training Centres (RRTC), come less than one year after the MS Society launched a major fundraising initiative to alter the research landscape in Canada.

"The goal of these centres is to boost our capacity to conduct MS research through training of the next generation of MS researchers," says Yves Savoie, president and chief executive officer of the MS Society of Canada.

The five centres are part of the endMS Research and Training Network, a collaboration of MS researchers and trainees across Canada. It is funded entirely by the MS Society of Canada and its goal is to accelerate the pace of discovery so that an end to MS is found as quickly as possible. The establishment of the five RRTCs serves as a key lynchpin in achieving this goal.
