> "Aug. 21, 2009 -- Low levels of vitamin D are known to nearly double
> the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes, and
> researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis
> now think they know why. ....

> . ..They have found that diabetics deficient in vitamin D can't
> process cholesterol normally, so it builds up in their blood vessels,
> increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. The new research has
> identified a mechanism linking low vitamin D levels to heart disease
> risk and may lead to ways to fix the problem, simply by increasing
> levels of vitamin D. ......

> ....The good news is when human macrophages are placed in an
> environment with plenty of vitamin D, their uptake of cholesterol is
> suppressed, and they don't become foam cells. Bernal-Mizrachi believes
> it may be possible to slow or reverse the development of
> atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes by helping them regain
> adequate vitamin D levels.
