But what about your prostate? **eye roll***
And colon cancer, too.
Eggs are okay to eat, now?
I take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day, under the supervision of a DO.
That looks much more correct to me.
It’s that wonderful sun, again.
Kids are being diagnosed with vitamin D deficiencies. Mothers are being told that milk is bad and to cover their kids in sun block.

My mother used to make us go outside to play and locked the doors to keep us out. LOL....I grew up strong and healthy. Guess she knew what she was doing after all.
My mom said the sunshine and soap would heal all my scraped kness and elbows. Never had an infection.
It seemed to work on all five of my kids too.
Isn't that the definition of "where the sun don't shine"? Case closed.
The alternate hypothesis, that low vitamin D serum levels are a early symptom of this disease wasn't discussed, and probably wasn't examined. They've fallen into the 'post hoc propter hoc' logical fallacy.
LOL.....I was just at the park yesteday and was passing on that same info. Let the sunshine in! oh, no! now I am getting an earworm.........
Vitamin H is also good for circulatory problems.
Some idjit will come along and post a Helen Thomas pic...
Like it’s new and exciting and funny...
I imagine it’s mostly newbies doing it now. Most of the vets are sick and tired of it.
Here's the lesson we can all learn from this: Parents, let your kids get some sun. Rickets effects blacks because of the pigmentation in their skin, which blocks the sun's rays. Growing bodies need proper nutrition and the only effective way to get vitamin D is from the sun. Let your kids get some morning or late afternoon sun without sunblock everyday. You can supplement, but it's much better to get it naturally. If you do supplement, use the D3.
Just about everyone should supplement.
Unless you live south of San Diego or thereabouts, there is a good 3-6 months a year when the sun is simply not high enough in the sky for the UVB to get through.
No UVB, no Vit D.
Me too.
My Doc prescribed 1,000 though with blood tests to check range.
Everyone....best to get your Vit D tested....Vit D 25(OH)hydroxy test....
We live in western Washington. We had only seventeen days of sunshine the entire summer, last year, and I’m betting that we have a rerun of that this year.
