Well, that should have got your attention! I've just spent ages trawling through PubMed searching for Vitamin D studies from 2010 to present. I found 35 worth linking to. Here are the three relevant to the title:-
Diet induced thermogenesis, fat oxidation and food intake following sequential meals: influence of calcium and vitamin D.
Relation of vitamin D level to maximal oxygen uptake in adults.
Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is associated with decreased abdominal visceral adipose tissue in overweight and obese adults.
Enjoy!

- What are your thoughts on natural vit D vs supplements. Nevermind, I forgot you lived in England. No, seriously, how do you consider vit D in a pill to vit D via the Sun? Is there relevant data for this? Of course for older people like you mother it is more difficult to synthesize vit D via the skin, especially if they don't get enough cholesterol in the diet.

- Hi Sean. Sorry it took so long to moderate your post, but I can't log-in to Blogger from my Blackberry. There's a script problem or something. I was visiting mum. Anyway, Vitamin D3 in a gel-cap is bio-identical to the Vitamin D3 that's synthesised in our skins. It's extracted from the lanolin on the wool sheared off sheep. They do the sunbathing, so we don't have to. Vitamin D3 5,000iu/day in gel-caps raised my serum 25(OH)D just fine. I don't know why old people's skins are less efficient at synthesising Vitamin D3 than young people's. I don't think that cholesterol is the limiting factor.
