It may be considered an illness of yesteryear but now it seems rickets is back and doctors say it is down to increasing numbers of Londoners suffering from a lack of Vitamin D.
Some studies report that up to 50% of ethnic minority communities have the deficiency.
While our main source of Vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight, supplies of the medicine to treat acute cases of the condition are running dangerously low.

plus a hundred other diseases somalis are allegedly becoming more prone to. Diabetes and even autism are two i can think of right now. No wonder so many ask those sheikhs on univ tv for dua.
