(Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found in supplements and in a few foods such as cod liver oil, sockeye salmon, mushrooms, mackerel and tuna fish.) The six-month study used techniques that ruled out the influence of other factors such as age, sex, body mass index, total fat intake and diet type. Blood levels of vitamin D and dairy calcium intake were found to be separate factors affecting increased weight loss; that is, each nutrient had its own specific effect. This study was released September 1, 2010 but will not be published until a future issue of the print version of the journal, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. However, the full-text version is now available online, with subscription or payment of an access fee, at http://bit.ly/coMR3d.</td>");document.write('</tr>');document.write('</table>');document.write('<br>');document.write('<table>');document.write('<tr>');document.write("<td>DID YOU KNOW...?</td>");document.write('</tr>');document.write('<tr>');document.write("<td>Two nutritional supplements appear to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease.
