The entire "vitamin D is toxic" thing has been hugely overrated.

Half an hour in full sun will give you over 10,000 units of vitamin D, and if it was poisonous, dead mailmen and milkmen would be lining the streets.

The announcement that came out in Dec all but called Vitamin D deficiency a "public health emergency". Vit D is a hormonal growth regulator that aids the division of cells and the synthesis of protein. Without enough of it, the errors accumulate when the DNA is transcribed.

The December study showed Vitamin D to have a dramatic effect on the rated of colon, prostate, and breast cancer. But when you read the studies a bit more closely, you find out that the ONLY cancers they ran the rate comparisons on were those three. So it may very well have a dramatic effect on other cancers, but they weren't looking at the other types!
