Asthma Increased by a Vitamin D deficiency?

A new study indicates children with low Vitamin D levels not only may be at risk for asthma but also that they end up in the hospital more often. This study from Costa Rica found that the children in this study who had lower Vitamin D levels "are associated with increased markers of allergy and asthma severity."

This study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care medicine, said," A log of 10 unity increase in Vitamin D levels was associated with reduced odds of any hospitalization in the previous year, any use of anti-inflammatory medications in the previous year, and increased airway responsiveness."

Are Expectant Mothers Preventing Type 1 Diabetes?

A new study from Sweden reports that mothers who ate vegetables every day decreased the risk of type 1 diabetes in their children. This is compared to mothers who ate vegies three to five times per week. This second group increased the risk of type 1 diabetes in their children by 70 per cent. 

So what do the vegies have to do with it? Fruits and vegetables contain powerful antioxidants called flavonoids. These flavonoids,"are suggested to be potentially therapeutic agents for type1 diabetes," say researchers. Linkoping University is conducting a population study called All Babies in Southeast Sweden (ABIS). This study was done in collaboration with the University.
