“People who take vitamin D supplements appear to have a lower risk of death from any cause,”

WRONGO!

Tell that whopper to folks suffering sarcoidosis.

Are you saying that vitamin D causes sarcoidosis, or that people with sarcoidosis can’t handle vitamin D well, and that extra is bad for them?

You’re not suggesting that Vit D supps CAUSE sarcoidosis, are you?

Anyone taking megadoses of Vit D should have blood levels tested from time to time, but even if they see elevated levels, stopping the Vit D supps wouldn’t stop sarcoidosis, I don’t think.

Sarcoidosis appears to be the CAUSE of elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, not the other way around, right?
