But I hate to tell you but UVB can\u2019t penetrate glass.\u00a0 No natural vitamin d production.<\/p>\n<p>Other things that block UVB rays things like air pollution, cloud cover, darker skin colour and obviously sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it worse is that if you live anywhere north of the 35 parallel little or no vitamin d is made by our bodies from sunlight during the fall and winter months.\u00a0 That is approximately 6 months of the year.<\/p>\n<p>For those whose geography knowledge may be like mine &#8211; Flagstaff AZ is at the 35 parallel.\u00a0 NYC is at the 40th and Aurora is at the 44th.\u00a0 North of the 35th parallel includes all of Canada and 2\/3 of the US.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that between 70 and 97% of the canadian population has inadequate vitamin d status.\u00a0 In fact the average blood value is 67 nmol\/L.\u00a0 The normal reference range is between 75 and 250 and ideal levels are between 100 and 150.<br \/>\nThe majority of canadians are vitamin d deficient.\u00a0 Many much more than others.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us back to the question what does this all matter?<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin d was at one point thought to be primarily involved in bone health.\u00a0 More recently there has been an explosion of research exploring its role in many different diseases.\u00a0 It plays a role in 17 varieties of cancer including breast and colon, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression and the flu just to name a handful.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the flu for a moment as we are heading into that season.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin d deficiency seems to play quite an important role in both the development of the flu and in secondary infections like pneumonia.\u00a0 So much of a role that there is compelling evidence indicating that the change in sun exposure and vitamin d production is actually the reason why the flu season starts in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>People who have insufficient vitamin d are much more susceptible to respiratory infections and research shows that when those levels are optimized the incidence decreases.<\/p>\n<p>So vitamin d plays a very important role in health and in disease prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so we know most Canadians are deficient in vitamin d and we know it is very important in disease prevention but what is the economic benefit of increasing canadians vitamin d status?<\/p>\n<p>A recent paper published in 2010 looked at the estimated benefits of disease reduction based on increasing vitamin d levels to 105. It was found that the estimated decrease in economic burden of disease was $14.4 billion dollars.\u00a0 That is a huge decrease from a very simple, low risk intervention of optimizing vitamin d levels.<\/p>\n<p>A bottle of vitamin d is very inexpensive to buy.\u00a0 Generally ranging from $10 to 15 which in turn can last from 3 to 6 months. The issue is how much do you need to optimize your levels?\u00a0 Currently most medical doctors will recommend 1000 IU but is that enough?\u00a0 Ideally you should have your blood levels checked especially if you are in a higher risk category.\u00a0 Someone who is overweight, pregnant, darker skinned or avoid the sun, never mind the numerous health concerns.\u00a0 If your blood levels start at 50 the addition of 1000 IU will only raise that number by between 10 to 25 points.\u00a0 So the end result would still not be optimal (better but not optimal).<\/p>\n<p>Now on the point of blood testing. As of August the ontario government will no longer pay for vitamin d testing.\u00a0 The reason given is that the cost to the province of testing has skyrocketed to $66 million per year.\u00a0 It is just too expensive &#8211; despite the great long term economic benefit the short-term cost is too expensive.\u00a0 This health strategy adopted by the ontario government is extremely short-sighted.\u00a0 The current cost of the test will be much less than the savings realized on the long term decrease in economic burden of illness.<\/p>\n<p>Just to put things in perspective this is the same government who will fund a $40 million seasonal flu campaign which results in a savings of $7.8 million of our health care dollars.\u00a0 That is a loss of $32.2 million&#8230; and that is considered a cost effective program.<\/p>\n<p>I ask you to consider your future. With the majority of Canadians deficient in vitamin d work to optimize your levels.\u00a0 It will not only improve your health and prevent illness it will also decrease the overall economic burden of illness. Also contact the ministry of health and let them know you want vitamin d testing to be covered.\u00a0 It would benefit us all.<\/p>\n<p>Responses are being invited by the Ministry until September 27, 2010 at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariocanada.com\/registry\/view.do?postingId=3902&amp;language=en\">http:\/\/www.ontariocanada.com\/registry\/view.do?postingId=3902&amp;language=en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent news story got me all riled up.\u00a0 It was a news story about the ontario government canceling vitamin d testing.
