Vitamin D may help fight Crohn's Disease

More evidence regarding the benefits of Vitamin D for Crohn's in this recent article. See my post from Sept 2009 for additional evidence - "Vitamin D and Why Immunosuppressants May Be Counterproductive".

Excerpt from the recent article:
“Our data suggests, for the first time, that Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to Crohn’s disease,” says Dr. White, a professor in McGill’s Department of Physiology, noting that people from northern countries, which receive less sunlight that is necessary for the fabrication of Vitamin D by the human body, are particularly vulnerable to Crohn’s disease.
Perhaps an argument to finally take that vacation to Hawaii.
