Shocked New study, and very controversial:

Here is a link to a new study, which refutes the new Vit D information coming out from many other sources:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101130/...beat_vitamin_d

Already we have the media swarming all over it.
NPR
http://www.npr.org/2010/11/29/131668...d-on-vitamin-d

CNN
CBS news all today. None explained that Vit D is not a Vitamin and all suggested to get Vit D from diet...which is practically impossible.

You see the research in the OTHER direction, got NO coverage.

The more TV/media coverage, the more suspect the study IMO.
It suggests to me Big Pharma bucks behind it all. Big Pharma pushes every button they can so people will not take control of their own health. Big Pharma wants you to be sick so you will use their drugs. They are also lobbying to have supplements more strictly controlled.

I think this article is laughable.

With Statins for example when the Zocor and Pravachol patents were expiring...they had articles in TIME and NEWSWEEK suggesting statins are so safe, they should be taken by everyone --even those without elevated cholesterols. And should be put in our drinking water! Given to our children too!
