Vitamin D deficiency leads the cells to produce agents that are more reactive to other cells than are those produced when the killer T cells grow up with abundant vitamin D. Cantorna suspects that once full-blown autoimmune disease appears, "you've already lost your window of opportunity to change the kind of T cells that develop."

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Pernicious anemia
Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance needed to absorb vitamin B-12 from the gastrointestinal tract.
Since about 1% of vitamin B-12 is absorbed (even in the absence of intrinsic factor), some doctors recommend that elderly patients with gastric atrophy take oral vitamin B-12 supplements in addition to monthly injections.
Vitamin B-12 deficiency affects the appearance of all epithelial cells, therefore an untreated woman may obtain a false positive pap smear.

 Global : Ideas : Bank - Vitamin T - the tribal vitamin - a questionnaire
Each nod they receive from a passing neighbour in the street, each chat with a local shopkeeper, counts towards their RDA of Vitamin T. In our evolutionary past, we lived in small groups of 50 to 250 or so people, and we still need that intense level of inter-communication and sense of place and neighbourhood.
But Vitamin T is based on the assumption that we have an inbuilt need for a tribe we live in proximity to, for kith and kin living co-operatively within a geographical neighbourhood.
As a group of us were sitting together and enjoying dinner on New Year’s eve, we took your Vitamin T quiz and discovered that we have a large dose of Vitamin T in our lives.
