I've got high cholesterol myself, as does most of my family.

I'm on statins as well.

But if you think I'm going trust ANYTHING coming out of Cuba, you're nuts.

I'll trust what my NIH brother tells me to do.

Right now, it's time for another breakfast chili dog.

Well, I try to keep an open mind about things.

Now they have discovered basically that just about everyone in North America doesn't get enough Vitamin D. The RDA for Vitamin D is 400IUs per day.

But half an hour in full sunlight will give you over 10,000 units. Why would the body make 10,000 units if it only needs 400?

Vitamin D is a growth regulator and they are now estimating you could safely take 1000-2000 units per day.

And other estimates are that as many as 50,000 people per year have died from cancers that could have been prevented by enough Vitamin D - in large part because they bitched and moaned and hounded us to stay out of the sun.

Fifty percent of doctors graduated at the bottom half of their class.

I agree. While it does sound promising, the drug comes from sugar cane, Cuba's national product. I don't think Cuba is above faking studies for the sake of selling more sugar cane. I'll wait for studies conducted outside of the "Worker's Paradise".
