Dr. Mercola has a video where he says that 10-20 years from now if you go to an emergency room and they do NOT test you for Vit D deficiency they (emergency room personnel) will go to jail. He says that Vit D is responsible for the on/off switch for over 2000 genes - cancer, everything imaginable, etc.

He also says that Vit D deficiency is the reason black Americans suffer from so many diseases. Because of their melanin, they bodies don’t make Vit D like white people do, even if they are out in the sun all day.

That's a simple property of spectrum physics, but an interesting observation re Vitamin D3 generation.

And I’m sure Je$$e Jacka$$ or other race whores will call him racist for saying that and try to shake down the medical establishment for mo’ money, mo’ money for his Rainbow Coalition that no other blacks will ever see or benefit from.

I remember something of an uproar about Sickle Cell Anemia when it first was discovered and the Docs were called racist because they said it was predominant in Blacks.

Not to mention the word “niggardly”.

After reading about Vitamin D and cancer (specifically Pancreatic Cancer) I take 2000 IU daily. I’m also addicted to milk - I LOVE it.

Does the good doc have a side business selling Afro-specific Vitamin D supplements? (”The pale northern sun just isn’t up to the job for you folks!”)
