What the research says
Supports is higher

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Men who had excess belly fat saw their vitamin D levels go up by 27% after a year of eating better and moving more—even though they didn’t take any vitamin D pills or supplements.
