Vitamin D and Heart Disease

The number 1 killer in the United States is still heart disease. The cholesterol model for heart disease has shown some cracks in its logic, we need to turn our attention in other directions. While heart disease is certain to have many causes, one simple thing we can do is make sure we have adequate vitamin D levels. This article shows how valuable vitamin D research is in advancing the clinical management of heart disease.

In the near future, I'll do a series on heart disease and dissect the problem beyond cholesterol and conventional management of this killer.
