59% Low Vitamin D - linked to increased body fat, decreased muscle strength

The question with this study - which I believe to be accurate - is this correlation or causation. Does the vitamin D cause low body fat and poor muscle tone? Or do people who stay inside and get very little sunshine, also get very little exercise resulting in an unhealthy fat-muscle balance. We're finding out that low vitamin D is linked to a huge number of diseases... I'll be interested to see if we supplement people (the studies are recommending 1,000-5,000 IU/day), will these diseases go away? I believe that some conditions will improve, and I believe others we'll find it's about being outdoors or being active outdoors. Either way, I'm glad we're looking at natural solutions to solve our problems and not looking to synthetic chemicals with a huge number of adverse reactions. http://amplify.com/u/2afa
