Vitamin D may fight Crohn's disease - UPI.com: "Canadian researchers say vitamin D can counter the effects of Crohn's disease.

Researchers at Montreal's McGill University Health Center and University of Montreal found vitamin D acts directly on the beta defensin 2 gene, which encodes an anti-microbial peptide and the NOD2 gene that alerts cells to the presence of invading microbes."
