CHICAGO At least one in five U.S. children aged 1 to 11 don't get enough vitamin D and could be at risk for a variety of health problems including weak bones, the most recent national analysis suggests.
By a looser measure, almost 90 percent of black children that age and 80 percent of Hispanic kids could be vitamin D deficient "astounding numbers" that should serve as a call to action, said Dr. Jonathan Mansbach, lead author of the new analysis and a researcher at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston.

The body also makes vitamin D when sunlight hits the skin, but many children don't spend enough time outdoors. That's one reason why lower vitamin D levels are found in children living in colder climates and those with darker skin, which absorbs less sunlight.

Nah, soy is crap, garbage poison, you can get real protien very cheap from this place, I love it, the stuff is great.

Scroll down and look at the label, it’s loaded with Amino acids and sulfurs, all very good for you.
Here is their main site, don’t eat soy folks, it’s bad news ...
I don't doubt you'll want to dismiss the Okinawa Centenarian research but it will be pretty hard for you to ignore this 25 year study and explain to us why the people eating the most soy are the healthiest and longest living people on the planet.
Who ever thought a diet high in "garbage", "poison" and "crap" could deliver those kinds of results?
First, Japan rejects GMO pharming, all our soy is GMO and has foreign DNA in it from other animals, plants, and soil bacterium. Second, the Japanese eat on average 13 gram’s of Iodine per day, the US RDA is 150 mcg (that’s Micrograms), they also do many other healthy things like eat seafood regulary and so on, their diet is not pre-packaged garbage for the most part. The Iodine definitely counters the damage the soy would do the endoctrine system. By and large, American’s are a walking disease waiting to die a needless death ...
Sorry, I meant 13 mg (milligrams) whereas we get less that 150 mcg (most get absolutey zero iodine a day)
Me too.
My doc advised me to stay out of the sun for the rest of my life.
My surgeon and fellow NRA gun guy says life is meant to be lived. Enjoy golf and the beach but be sensible. And come and see me every November.
So far so good. I enjoy life and he enjoys the money I pay him to excise those nasty little runaway cells.
Now you're trying to explain away the foolishness about soy from your previous post by pleading with us to believe that iodine consumption counters the damage that soy consumption wreaks on our physiology. Good luck with that. The Okinawans live longer healthier lives than anyone else on the planet while consuming more soy, per-capita, than any other people on the planet. So much for soy being "crap", "garbage" and "poison", although those first two descriptors aptly reflect your understanding of the subject.
Cheers!
Fair enough; but what then do you say of people who don't have damaged parathyroids to come back on line; who are taking D3, not D2; and are taking 2000 IU a day (in other words, 50 μg a day, not 2-3 grams)?
Not quite the same thing...? Cheers!
Thanks for the ping!
Post 25 goes into detail about the 2 hyper D patients. One hyper A patient was given large doses of Vitamin A by her doctor for Acne. She survived, but not without months of misery. The other one took huge doses herself as a suicide attempt after reading about Arctic explorers who died from hypervitaminosis A after eating polar bear liver. She didn't survive.
Ping me if you find one, please. I want on!
Is that primarily for body builders?
Didn’t Art Robinson disprove the theory that C is beneficial?
