Can vitamin D reverse my coronary disease?


First, the simple answer-NO. 

You can eat all the vitamin D you want, it will not do anything for your heart disease. There has been a lot written lately about vitamin D and how it benefits people with coronary artery disease. This is utter nonsense. 

The fact is that there are no clinical studies to document these statements. The people who advocate vitamin D are the ones who sell it. It should also be remembered that vitamin D pills are not a substitute for the conventional heart medications. 

If you want to reduce your risk of heart disease, maintain a healthy weight, eat more veggies than meat, do not smoke, exercise regularly and get a regular check up with your doctor. 

If you listen to the charlatans who recommend vitamin D for plaque reduction, you will end up dead sooner than you think.
