According to data from five observational studies, infants who received vitamin D supplements were 29 per cent less likely to develop type-1 diabetes than non-supplemented infants, reports the review in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

The tendency to develop autoimmune diseases is inherited. Something in the environment has to trigger the attack. Maybe vitamin D enhances the immune system to where it doesn't get insulin confused with something else.
