- Research from the University of Queensland has linked low levels of vitamin D and the size of a part of the brain crucial to memory formation.
- A new study has found newborns with vitamin D deficiency have a 44 per cent increased risk of being diagnosed with schizophrenia as adults compared to those with normal vitamin D levels.
