In adults, it is linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and hypertension.
Insulin resistance is one of the hallmarks of type II diabetes. The risk factors/diagnoses just mentioned are also risk factors for the various types of cerebrovascular disease, i.e. stroke.
How much of the supposedly inherent white racism in the medical establishment as evidenced by worse mortality and morbidity is really due to the genetic predispositions of people of color in latitudes that their ancestors didn't evolve to inhabit?
Vitamin d toxicity ping
That was my first thought as well.
Dr. Mercola has been talking about this for a long time.
Does this balance off with the occurence rates of skin cancer in the more hotter places?
Need vitamin D enriched crack.

My dad had his first M.I. in the early seventies (he's since passed on) and I remember how for SO many years, "researchers" would cite the much-higher mortality rates among blacks, universally attributed to their high-saturated fat "soul food" diets.
Because ALL vascular disease was "caused" by saturated fat and salt, period. I didn't quite buy it then, either.
