blacks in general have very low Vit D levels....it can be remedied with supplements IIRC.

So do people here in Colorado! I’m seeing so many pasty, white legs around here, I need sunglasses! Some gal in the grocery store with short shorts on was soooo white. How white was she lol?? I wanted to hand her some Vit D or some pants to cover those legs. And they weren’t pretty either. And it was raining.

So, here is my problem. I take 2000iu of D3 a day. I was taking 1000 but my level was around 45 so the doctor told me to double my dosage.
I live in the sunny hot South and could get plenty of sun but I have also had several skin cancers removed. I’m a natural redhead (or was) with really white fair skin. The skin cancer doctor told me to stay out of the sun. My primary care told me to sit in the sun a few minutes a day. I grew up in S. Florida and I love being outside but I don’t like having skin cancer surgeries.
I’ll be interested to see if my level comes up by doubling my D3. I still get in the sun. Can’t avoid it here when you live on a farm and have a lot of outside work to do. Right now I’m just trying to avoid a Melanoma.
Is it racist (for us) to note that in general blacks have trouble with their Vit-amin D intake?
