• Obese are 3.4 X more likely to be Vitamin D deficient – meta-analysis Sept 2015

• Perhaps women have lower levels of Vitamin D because vitamin D hides in fat

• Death due to breast cancer reduced 40 percent if high vitamin D – meta-analysis April 2014

• Breast Cancer prevented by Vitamin D (most studies concur) – Dec 2017

  FACT: Other diseases are associated with obesity - probably due to lower vitamin D

• Multiple Sclerosis 40% more likely in obese than in overweight (Mendelian randomization) Jan 2018
