Why are there so many studies looking at vitamin D and bone health? Vitamin D levels affect expression of over 400 genes in the human body, make a difference in cancer survival and are strongly inversely correlated with all cause mortality (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/ https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/66349/depression/vitamin-d-deficiency-and-psychiatric-illness https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/66349/depression/v... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6201256/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6201256/).
