Yours in wonderful health,

Valerie & the team at Raw Power

I've just been reading a fascinating article on New Scientist about the resurgence of a disease more common during Dickensian times in children. Rickets is caused by a shortage of Vitamin D and makes their bones abnormally weak and susceptible to damage. This disease flourished in the 19th Century during the industrial revolution when smog blocked sunlight and children were forced to work all day in factories.

The article also notes that rickets is just the start: that a lack of Vitamin D during pregnancy and early childhood may also increase the likelihood of food allergies, asthma and even multiple sclerosis. Some other research just published indicates a possible link to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

Our society has progressed much in 200 years but we've recently been so scared by the incidence of skin cancer - something especially prevalent in our country - that our bodies aren't able to process enough Vitamin D. And, it isn't just in pregnant women and young children that we need to worry about these deficiencies as a Vitamin D deficiency can lead to health issues in adults as well. We highlighted this and other common vitamin deficiencies recently on our blog.
