The Fallacy of Vitamin D

Natural News are flogging vitamin pills again.

The thing is vitamin pills are flogged as a cure all. We are told we need them by the “medical establishment” and indeed our parents but most of us know so little about them that we simply believe a lot of the ideas that are flogged by people such as mike adams. Most of our Vitamin D is produced during exposure to UV light, any UV light. Sunlight is great for it. It’s cholecalciferol and is a steroid hormone that is needed for the building of bones and sequestration of calcium.

You don’t need to take supplementation for it, you need to make sure that you go out regularly. Even bedridden patients are encouraged to go out for a while every day solely for this purpose. The only real way these days for the vast majority of us to get Vitamin D deficiency is by sitting indoors all day. Spend time outside, it’s free.

The people who have trouble getting vitamin D are people with dark skin, muslim women, shut ins and people in some latitudes where the sun doesn’t rise for months. Even then the problem is solved by spending more time in the sun, stopping the practice of burkha. The few people who need supplementation are people who have issues with this rather than the universal pill that it is flogged at.

Vitamin D is found mainly in animal sources such as fish liver and meat and egg yolk. Some mushrooms contain it but not in the quantities needed.

Just remember, even supplement companies are out for your coin.
