A new Cornell University study published in Scientific Reports, shows that obesity interferes with the body’s ability to use vitamin A, even with adequate intake.

Liver, kidneys and pancreas in obese mice were found to be deficient in spite of normal Vit A serum levels.
“We call this ‘silent vitamin A deficiency’ because it would not be picked up by a standard blood test for the vitamin.”
Common health effects are respiratory infections, diabetes, infertility, and delayed growth and bone development writes George Lowery of Cornell in his summary published November 9 in Futurity , which bills itself as provider of research news from top universities.
