CAN VITAMIN D LEVELS CUT THE RISK OF BEING DIAGNOSED WITH MS ?A study published in the AMA journal, and conducted by the Harvard School of public health, found that with higher blood levels of vitamin D, the risk of MS, or multiple sclerosis, dropped.The study, which focused on analyzing the blood samples of U.S. military personnel, found that among caucasian service members there was a forty-one percent drop in MS risk for every fifty nanomoles per litre increase in a form of vitamin D found in the blood (25-hydyroxyvitamin D). Those who had the highest levels of vitamin D in their blood (top twenty percent) had a sixty-two percent lower risk of MS than individuals whose vitamin D levels were found to be in the lowest twenty percent. Dr. Alberto Ascherio, a lead researcher in the study, was quoted as saying "If confirmed, this finding suggests that many cases of MS could be prevented by increasing vitamin D levels".
