For years I heard people in the upper midwest are more likely to develop this. Being that those places are the one with severe weather in winter (leading to less sunlight) this might make sense.

They speak of increased exposure to sunlight but, considering the latitudes of the UK, that seems a bad joke to me.

Vitamin D deficiencies are being contributed to quite a few diseases. Vitamin D helps the immune system. Aids in fighting the flu.

For the group...... having just gone through the excruciating passing of a kidney stone, I wondered what caused kidney stones.

Interestingly, excessive vitamin D is given as one of the causes.

Has any other D user experienced kidney stones?

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

FWIW, I’ve been taking 5000 IU of D3-5 daily for 3.5 years and have not been sick a day. Dirt cheap insurance. $6 at Wally for 100 days worth. Anecdotal? Absolutely. But why not?
