| Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?
WebMD Weight Loss Clinic-Feature
Reviewed
by Brunilda Nazario, MD
It has long been known as the vitamin that cured rickets. But today, vitamin
D is being hailed for being able to do much more than that.
Scientists have known for some time about vitamin D's role in helping the
body absorb calcium, in maintaining bone density, and in preventing
osteoporosis. But new research suggests it may also help protect against chronic
diseases such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, and autoimmune diseases.
Yet many adults have low blood levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is not abundant
in our usual food choices, so we get most of the vitamin from sun exposure and
multivitamins. The problem is that the sun is not a reliable source for
everyone.
Deficient in D?
Vitamin D is the only vitamin that is also a hormone. After Vitamin D is made
by the skin or eaten, the kidney and liver help to convert it into an active
hormone form. As a hormone, it controls calcium absorption to help the body
build strong bones and teeth, and it helps maintain muscle strength. When you
are deficient in calcium and vitamin D, your bones break down to supply calcium
to the rest of your body. But being deficient in vitamin D can take a toll on
more than just your skeleton.
"There have been concerns about vitamin D status in the U.S. because of
increasing reports of deficiencies, with an estimated 10 million Americans over
age 50 diagnosed with osteoporosis," says Atlanta-based rheumatologist Eduardo
Baetti, MD.
"Vitamin D deficiency is associated with low bone mass and osteoporosis
because vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium from the diet. Low levels of
vitamin D have also been linked with poor muscle strength and other chronic
conditions, such as autoimmune disease and some forms of cancer."

Fight Back Against Congress' Attempt to Control Employers' Pay-Setting Decision
How much control should the government have over
employers' ability to set wages? A bill before Congress, the Paycheck Fairness
Act, S. 182, would give the federal government and the courts unprecedented
power to second guess routine pay-setting decisions that employers make every
day.
Under current law, employers have wide
latitude to establish compensation systems that make sense for their business,
as long as they don't violate anti-discrimination laws. The Paycheck Fairness
Act would significantly expand the reach of the pay equity laws and make it much
more difficult for employers to justify legitimate pay differences. For example,
it would no longer be permissible to pay employees differently based on market
forces, negotiating ability, or even the amount of revenue they generate for the
employer's bottom line unless the employer could prove it was a "business
necessity."
Proponents support the bill based on
the "pay gap," which assumes that any gap in pay must be due to unlawful
discrimination. This assumption is being used to justify radical rewrites of pay
equity laws and put expansive regulation in place. The only parties that benefit
from this are the trial lawyers.
Write to your U.S. Senators now and tell them to oppose
this bill.
