More d-tails
Well, now the Canadian Paediatric Society is recommending that women who are pregnant and nursing take 2000 IU of Vitamin D daily. And even that may not be enough to ensure that babies are protected against an increased risk of asthma, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, dental malformation and inflammatory bowel disease - all of which have been linked to Vitamin D deficiencies early in life.
And the Canadian Cancer Society is recommending that adults take 1,000 IU of Vitamin D daily, as it can help lower your risk of several types of cancer including breast, lung and colon.
So let all the preggo & breastfeeding women you know know…
So while I have been following the recommendations from Health Canada I’m starting to wonder. I think I’ll find a nutritionist and do a piece on it for yoyomama (and add all the details here as well of course!)
