DID YOU KNOW that an enormously important study from last month's Arthritis & Rheumatology received very little national media coverage?
This was a follow-up to the study showing 5 years of vitamin D supplementation was associated with a 22% reduction in risk for confirmed autoimmune diseases, and 5 years of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was associated with an 18% reduction in confirmed and probable incident autoimmune diseases.
The authors found that in those who discontinued vitamin D, the beneficial effects waned after the supplement was discontinued, while the protection from omega-3 fatty acid supplementation lived on for at least 2 additional years.
The national message from public health experts should be to continue both supplements in perpetuity!
