advised client denies light police present quite statement
We have advised our client that in the light of the police investigation it would be quite inappropriate for him to make any statement at the present time, other than to state that he categorically denies the allegations and will be contesting them vigorously.
alone avoidance based bone cause damage desirable diabetes diseases excessive exposure heart information justify levels linked low lung maintain message normal reason relate sort study suggested sun
I don't think we have enough information based on this study alone to justify that sort of recommendation. I think the take-away message is that low vitamin D levels are not desirable. This doesn't just relate to lung function. A low vitamin D level is linked to bone disease, and an association has been suggested between low vitamin D levels and other diseases such as diabetes and coronary heart disease. The commonest reason for having a low vitamin D level is avoidance of sun exposure. While excessive sun exposure can cause damage to the skin, it is not desirable to completely avoid sun exposure if one is to maintain normal vitamin D levels.
ask further press privacy released respect statements
We would ask that the press respect our client's and his family's privacy and any further statements will be released through these offices.
amazing events sequence
It was kind of an amazing sequence of events.
body bones cells effect further growth influence lung mechanism necessary process renewal throughout tissue types undergo work
We don't know what the mechanism is. The effect of vitamin D on bones is well recognized, but vitamin D can also influence the growth of other types of cells in the body and the formation of connective tissue by other types of cells in the body. The tissues in the lung undergo a process of renewal and remodeling throughout life, and it is conceivable that vitamin D may influence this, but further work is necessary to find out if this is the case.
although chronic definite function improve increases intake lung patients relationship unclear
Although there is a definite relationship between lung function and vitamin D, it is unclear if increases in vitamin D through supplements or dietary intake will actually improve lung function in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
anyone far function identified lung time
As far as we are aware, this is the first time that anyone has identified this association between lung function and vitamin D.
limits needed obvious seemed wake
I'm in favor. The old limits were impractical to enforce. It seemed obvious that we needed a No Wake Zone.
difference former function greater highest lowest lung
The difference in lung function between the highest and lowest quintiles of vitamin D is substantial and greater than the difference between former and nonsmokers.
