Yeah, but they never tell ya what foods are high in vitamin D, outside of saying sunshine is good. I’m no nutritional expert, so I’m just asking.
Few foods.
Eggs, cod liver oil. Lard.
Many of the things that they’ve convinced people not to eat (like red meat) are very high in some of the quasi-essentials.
To obtain maximum benefit and prevent flu and pneuminia a daily intake of 2000 units is recommended. There is a lot on the subject and the D in foods is barely able to prevent the childhood disease of rickets.
After reading a thread here and looking into the matter I began to take a daily 2000 units from november till end of March. If there is an outbreak of flu, double the dosage.
they sell 2,000 I.U. pills in vitamin stores for about $6.00. I’ve seen a doctor consuem a whole bottle at once just to prove a point about so-called toxicity of a fat-soluable vitamin.
If you have a condition you may need to take a “theraputic” dose. Those living in the top half of the USA need supplements because of the lack of sun light, those with darker skin will also need more. Most Americans are deficient.
