Voeding NU – Vitamine D deficiency in children
Following our publication on vitamin D deficiency in children in the Generation R Study (Journal of Nutrition, 2015), VoedingNU interviewed me about our findings. We showed that one in three school-age children suffer from vitamin D deficiency. In children with a non-Dutch ethnic background this was even 50%. Playing outside and watching television are important factors in the level of vitamin D in children.
TIME Magazine asked me ‘Should I eat potatoes?’
Spoiler alert: I said yes. Potatoes fit very well in a healthy diet. Just watch the way you prepare them and enjoy French fries in moderation.
