Vitamin D May Not Provide Significant Health Benefit, Review Of Studies Says. USA Today (1/23, Painter) reports vitamin D supplements may not impart “significant benefits for heart health, cancer prevention or even bone health in healthy people,” citing a new review of previous studies from researchers in New Zealand. The report, unveiled today in the journal Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, “is the latest to question” the popularity of such supplements “and to suggest researchers should stop spending time and money trying to find out whether vitamins can prevent a host of chronic diseases.” The new study reviewed data from 40 previous studies, concentrating its attention only on vitamin D and “concludes that ‘healthy people are very unlikely to get a benefit from it.’”
