We get Vitamin D for a wide slew of things: sunlight, fish, soymilk, milk, even chocolate. A healthy level of Vitamin D gives us healthy bones and teeth, and it’s even been linked to help keep type 1 diabetes at bay. A new study has linked it to the incidence of multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia, and its results reveal that while vitamin D deficiency has a surprising effect on specifically schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis.
This Study Finds Interesting Evidence about Vitamin D’s Link to MS and Schizophrenia
Did your doctors ever say that if you get a lot of sunlight exposure, you’d get tons of good sunlight and it would decrease the chance of getting multiple sclerosis? Actually, Vitamin D has been linked to a couple neuropsychiatric disorders, like schizophrenia, autism and Alzheimer’s. It’s been clear with most of them, but not as much with schizophrenia. A new study attempts to analyze the real effects of vitamin D deficiency on the incidence of schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis.
The main focus of the study was to explore if a variation of a gene associated with vitamin D deficiency had any effect in chronic psychosis and if it played any roles in multiple sclerosis by testing it on chronic psychosis patients. The results of the study were quite disparate: one of the results showed that increased vitamin D levels can increase the risk of multiple sclerosis while at the same time decrease the risk of schizophrenia.
What Does This Mean?
The study isn’t conclusive enough to draw any definite conclusions, but this can only mean one thing: nothing in excess or surplus is good for the human body. So to all of that vitamin D loaded orange juice, milk, those fish oil supplements, and the soymilk in your coffee: just keep it simple. You might end up having to deal with multiple sclerosis. Some will argue that you’ll at least not go crazy.
Jokes aside, being healthy and not health-obsessed goes a long way. Spend ten minutes under the sun but cover up well and wear sunblock if you have to, and talk to your doctor about your vitamin levels, because it is always better to be safe than sorry.
