Our very own Dr. Hassan Vatanparast was featured this week in the Star Phoenix article "Skies have been sunnier than you might think" by Janet French.
"Vitamin D supplements are also a good idea for people who live in northern latitudes like Saskatoon, said U of S pharmacy and nutrition Prof. Hassan Vatanparast.Our bodies make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
