  •  
    Effects of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on depressed mood: systematic review of published trials. Appleton KM, Hayward RC, Gunnell D, Peters TJ, Rogers PJ, Kessler D, Ness AR. Am J Clin Nutr. 2006 Dec;84(6):1308-16. Review. PMID: 17158410 Conclusions: Trial evidence that examines the effects of n-3 PUFAs on depressed mood is limited and is difficult to summarize and evaluate because of considerable heterogeneity. The evidence available provides little support for the use of n-3 PUFAs to improve depressed mood. Larger trials with adequate power to detect clinically important benefits are required.

Professor: Fish oil boosted children's brains - Telegraph - 0 views

  •  
    "Increasing the fatty acid content in children's diets can boost their mental abilities, scientists claim. Four overweight children given capsules containing omega-3 and omega-6 were said to have undergone three years' worth of development in just three months. The youngsters, aged between eight and 13, were also said to have made remarkable improvements in reading and problem-solving. Professor Basant Puri carried out the tests for a Channel Five documentary, Mind the Fat: Does Fast Food = Slow Kids?, to be shown on Thursday."

PMID: 18090651 doi: 10.1097/MCO.0b013e3282f2f4dd Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is easy to screen for and easy to treat with supplementation. Further larger observational studies and randomized clinical trials are, however, needed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation could have any potential benefit in reducing future cardiovascular disease events and mortality risk.

    "Fatty acids can help children in exams and improve their behaviour in class and at home, a study suggests. Overweight children who took fatty acid dietary supplements showed dramatic improvements in concentration, reading, memory and mental agility. The advances that their brains made in three months would normally take three years, researchers found."

  •  
    "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Low vitamin D levels in the body may be deadly, according to a new study hinting that adults with lower, versus higher, blood levels of vitamin D may be more likely to die from heart disease or stroke. Vitamin D is an essential vitamin mostly obtained from direct sunlight exposure, but also found in foods and multivitamins. Dr. Annamari Kilkkinen, at the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki, Finland, and colleagues compared blood levels of vitamin D and deaths from heart disease or stroke over time in 2,817 men and 3,402 women in Finland."

D-vitamiinin saantisuosituksia saatetaan nostaa lähivuosina - HS.fi - Kotimaa - 1 views

  •  
    Tällä hetkellä suomalaisten 3-60-vuotiaiden D-vitamiinin saantisuositus on 7,5 mikrogrammaa päivässä. Osa tutkijoista olisi valmis nostamaan saantisuosituksia rajustikin. Lamberg-Allardtin mielestä suositusta voisi nostaa hieman. Asian pulmalliseksi tekee se, että rasvaliukoinen D-vitamiini on elintärkeä, mutta myrkyllinen aine. "Emme tiedä mitä seuraa, jos sitä pitkällä tähtäimellä saa liikaa", Lamberg-Allardt sanoo.

VITAMIN D LOWERS C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - 1 views

  •  
    VITAMIN D LOWERS C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) Van den Berghe and colleagues at the University of Leuven in Belgium appear to be the first to show that simple, natural and cheap vitamin D (cholecalciferol) lowers CRP in critically ill patients. Even small amounts of cholecalciferol (500 IU) lowered CRP by more than 25% in a small group of critically ill patients. Another marker of inflammation (IL-6) was reduced even more. The researchers also found that critically ill patients were profoundly deficient in vitamin D.
