...That, of course, is bad news for the U.S., but it also means the one-two punch of the financial crisis and possible recession could mete out pain around the globe. "Stabilization of the financial markets is a critical first step," said U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke Wednesday.

Infants may be the most at risk for deficiency. Earlier this year, researchers at Childrens Hospital in Boston found that 40% of 380 otherwise healthy babies and toddlers had "suboptimal" exposure to vitamin D.

A large part of the problem is that mothers lack vitamin D themselves, and are therefore unable to pass enough of the nutrient to their babies...

To ensure that breast-fed babies get the vitamin D they need, she advises pregnant women to discuss with their obstetrician how to supplement their own prenatal diet with enough vitamin D; in addition, the AAP recommends supplements be given to babies as early as the first few days of life...
...coming into this stretch run and into our ever-important Ivy games.” Harvard got on the scoreboard just 3:26 into the action. On a penalty corner, junior midfielder Kristin Bannon sent a pass to sophomore forward Maggie McVeigh at the top of the circle. McVeigh fed the ball to freshman back Georgia McGillivray who fired a shot on net. Keating deflected the ball out of the air and past Saint Louis goaltender Alex Labarge. “We practice tipping,” Keating said. “It was a nice hard shot on goal...
