Reading the paper itself ( Vitamin D discovery outpaces FDA decision making.) I see that this paper follows a presentation that Trevor G. Marshall made to the FDA, in an effort to get them to not change their rules to allow even higher levels of Vitamin D supplementation in foods.

In several ways, the paper raises doubts about Vitamin D supplements in our food supply.

It's another attack on Vitamins.

Correction. It may well be taken as another attack on Vitamins, in the popular press (thanks to Big Pharma money and influence.)

But it was clearly intended as a specific concern with Vitamin D, which closely interacts with complex ways with the human immune system. He raises important questions as to whether we should be including Vitamin D in our common food supply as much as we do.

The work that Marshall is doing on the causes of autoimmune diseases, as visible on his blog at http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum39/ is very impressive, for his energy, his attitude, his talent and his understanding. I wish Mr. Marshall well in his endeavors.

Big Pharma wants control of selling suppliments, big $$$ to be made.
