Correcting the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic: Strategies to Fight Diseases and Prolong Life for Black People
More than 90% of Dark-skinned People are Critically Deficient in Vitamin D.
Did you know that many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, mental illness, pregnancy related complications, asthma, and arthritis (to name a few) in dark-skinned people are associated with a Vitamin D deficiency?

More than 90 percent of dark-skinned people are critically deficient in vitamin D disproportionately from chronic diseases. Much of this suffering can be avoided by taking a few simple steps.

This is the first book to comprehensively address chronic vitamin D deficiency among dark-skinned people. Written by science educator and holistic health practitioner, Emily Allison-Francis, in Correcting the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic you'll discover:
- How to optimize your vitamin D levels if you are dark-skinned
- Why dark-skinned people are predisposed to vitamin D deficiency
- How chronic vitamin D deficiency contributes to diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
- Why it is critically important that pregnant dark-skinned women optimize their vitamin D levels
- How children can benefit from vitamin D
- How dark-skinned athletes can benefit from vitamin D
- How elderly dark skinned people can benefit from vitamin D
- How hospitalized, dark-skinned people can benefit from vitamin D
- How some medications might affect your vitamin D levels
The amount of melanin you have in your skin affects the amount of vitamin D you can produce. Melanin protects against skin damage from too much UVB exposure, so darker skins with more melanin allow less UVB to enter the skin. With less UVB getting through the skin, less vitamin D is produced each minute.

This book provides much needed insight into the possible involvement of vitamin D deficiency as a major contributor to the well known health disparities afflicting our African American community.Patients and physicians should heed this advice.

If you have dark skin and are concerned about your health for you and your family then the straightforward information contained in Correcting the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic is a must-read!
