That is because there is a huge difference between getting D from sunlight as opposed to supplements. One cannot OD from sun exposure, which I chalk up to God’s incredible design. However, it is possible (although one would have to take a lot) to get too much vitamin D from supplements.

It was not an assumption on my part, idiotic or otherwise.

In Israel, people measured kidney stones among lifeguards. They produced vitamin d through sun exposure. The higher the vitamin d a person had, the more kidney stones.

Excess vitamind d reduces gamma tocopherol.

People with a low level of gamma tocopherol are more likely to have heart and prostate problems.

There are no long term studies about how much vitamin d one can take without creating a deficiency of gamma tocopherol.

Its completely idiotic. And you know it. The stats kept on people having problems from vitamins is near zero, every year. More people have issues with doctor prescribed meds harming them, even with being taken as directed. As well as taking otc meds like aspirin or tylenol or advil.

Health problems from overtaking vitamins in comparison are essentially non existent, year after year.
