Vitamin D
Dr. Richard Besser on GMA did a report on Vitamin D. He also gave some of the foods where you can get Vitamin D. I think that if you eat a healthy balanced diet, you can get Vitamin D from your food as well; not entirely but you can. But not everyone does that.
There was mention of nursing mothers - their babies - older people, etc. in the article.
Also pointed out was having high amounts of Vitamin D kidney and tissue damage can happen. With too much calcium you can have kidney stones. Perhaps a person needs to calculate how much they are getting in their diet and also if they take supplements so that the amount isn't exceeded. It seems to me that testing before you do anything would be helpful to see if you really do need more either from your diet or supplements. Testing before you take any supplements for anything would seem to make sense.
It's an interesting article at that. It just seems to be an age old argument. Nothing is set in stone.
