New Project Offers $40 Vitamin D Test

[Dr. ZZ]

Carole Baggerly, Director of GrassrootsHealth.net, is a breast cancer survivor who has engineered an impressive project to collect and tabulate vitamin D blood levels in thousands, perhaps millions of people, over the next 5 years. Anyone can participate at a cost of $40 per test. (A vitamin D home test kit is mailed to you, and a finger-prick is required. I have personally tried the test kits- -- the process is easy and painless.) GrassrootsHealth simply asks that you provide basic health information that they accumulate and analyze in relation to the findings.

The graph above is featured on the GrassrootsHealth.net website, showing the vitamin D blood levels distributed among people who have participated in the program thus far. With up to 75% of the US population deficient in vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," this is a fabulous, low-cost opportunity to get your D-levels checked. In addition to vitamin D's crucial role in the development of bone mass, researchers are now saying that 'vitamin D virtually eradicates' breast cancer.
