BMI is a tool developed by Adolphe Quetelet in the 19th century, the World Health Organization notes. Quetelet was a mathematician, astrologer and statistician.

Like nearly everything else in our culture, everything has to fit in a specific pigeon hole or it is wrong. No flexibility in critical thinking or gray areas. Go to one of your local government schools and peruse a copy of the school's student manual. Western health care is the same way. Stratified and inflexible.

My wife would be dead now if our family doctor followed the book on everything.

D3 is a fat soluble vitamin. So if you are fat or have lots of fat, your D3 gets locked up in that blubber. So take more D3 and lose weight. I would say obese people can easily take 10000 units D3 daily. Get your D3 levels checked in your common bloodwork.

there for people with high bmi lose their ability to use vitamin d.

solution? raise glutathione levels. (a lot of ways to do that but glycine and nac are most popular.
