Vanadium Natural Mineral Water from Japan
| Yamanashi Institute of Environmental Sciences, Yamanashi, Japan | ||||||||
| By: Prof. Yoshiyuki Seko, Kaori Watanabe & Tatsuya Hasegawa | ||||||||
| Ground water from Mt. Fuji, located on the border of Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, has relatively high concentrations of trace | ||||||||
| element vanadium. The concentration is about 50 btg/L around the mountain, and about 1 Ixg/L in other areas. The vanadium comes | ||||||||
| from the lava of the mountain. The water is utilized as a source of tap water around the mountain, and habitants are drinking and | ||||||||
| using the water for cooking. Recent reports by some researchers suggest health beneficial effects of drinking the water; drinking such | ||||||||
| water can lower blood glucose level in diabetic patients, and improve insulin-resistant status in healthy women. However, the | ||||||||
| concentration of vanadium in the ground water is too low as compared with the apparently effective concentration (100000 ~tg/L) in | ||||||||
| preceding reports. Furthermore, the effects of vanadium in the water on public health are not elucidated. In the present study the | ||||||||
| regional concentrations of vanadium in ground waters were investigated in Yamanashi prefecture, and standardized mortality rates | ||||||||
| (SMR) are compared preliminary with vanadium data in order to investigate the effect epidemiologically. SMR data were provided | ||||||||
| by Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry. We used the summarized SMR from 1998 to 2002. The data contain SMRs from total causes; | ||||||||
| total malignant neoplasm; stomach cancer; colorectal cancer; liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer; trachea bronchus and lung | ||||||||
| cancer; all heart diseases; acute myocardial infarction; and cerebrovascular disease. There are eight secondary medical districts in | ||||||||
| Yamanashi prefecture, and one of them, Fuji-hokuroku (No.7), corresponds to high-vanadium area. No SMR, except SMR from | ||||||||
| cerebrovascular disease in female, was lower in the district No.7 than other eight districts. On the other hand, SMRs from all heart | ||||||||
| diseases and from acute myocardial infarction of both male and female in the district No.7 were highest among the districts. SMR | ||||||||
| from all causes in male of No.7 was also highest among the districts. Although we cannot obtain a conclusive result from an ecologic | ||||||||
