Low vitamin intake linked to high risk of asthma
Roman Bystrianyk
NaturalNews.com reported citing a new study by researchers from
Nottingham University in the UK.
Jo Leonardi-Bee and colleagues meta-analyzed data pooled from 40
studies conducted between between 1980 and 2007 and found people with
asthma had a significantly lower daily intake of vitamin A than those
who did not have the illness.
The researchers also found that those who had severe asthma tended to
have 50 percent lower vitamin A intake than those who had a milder
asthma.
Foods high in vitamin A include sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot,
cantaloupe, spinach, kale, collards, and butternut squash.
In addition to vitamin A, vitamin C intake was also found to be
associated with asthma risk.

The results of the current study were published in the journal Thorax.

you are mentioning vitamin A and C, but there are quite a lot of
articles claiming that other vitamins also are involved, in particular
vitamin D and E. For instance:
