(NaturalNews) A study out of the Netherlands has put the mainstream media in a mindless tizzy about the health effects of omega-3 fatty acids.

Behind the headlines - Genetic effects of vitamin D studied
âStocking up on vitamin D supplements and enjoying the summer sun could cut the risk of a host of diseases,â reported the Daily Mail. This news story is based on a study that investigated how vitamin D might influence the risk of certain diseases by affecting the activity of genes. It found that vitamin D binds directly to genes associated with several common autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and colorectal cancer. Studies of this kind add to our knowledge of the function of vitamin D, and will be used to assess the guidelines for recommended vitamin D intake. What does NHS Choices make of this study? This is a valuable addition to our knowledge of the effects of vitamin D in the cells and how it might affect our risk of certain di......
