Hmmmmm......

We are so cynical, lol!!!

And it has recently been found that vitamin D is really a super hormone and not a vitamin at all. Its deficiency has been implicated in the rise of SAD, ADD, Bipolar and other mental disorders as well as immune diseases, CFS, PCOS and a host of other ills.

Hmmmmm......
But I must say it makes you wonder if the rise to epidemic levels of all these diseases correlates with the rise in the warnings about sun exposure and increased, almost mandatory, use of sunscreens and sun blocks? And that the warnings about sun came along with warnings about the dangers of supplementing with vitamin D, because vitamin D is fat soluable and toxic at high levels. And that an entire discipline of medicine and the chemical treatments arising from vitamin D deficient related diseases has grown tremendously along with diagnosis of those ills. Which by the way weren’t linked to the lack of vitamin D until recently.

Hmmmmm......
And isn’t mind boggling that the truism that vitamin D toxicity can happen at relatively low dose amounts of 5k UI/day. Which of course everybody knows is the truth and has been cited in medical literature again and again is really a fallacy. That it’s only artificial, man-made vitamin D that is toxic at those amounts and natural vitamin D has not been found toxic at even over 75k/day for a sustained period.

Hmmmmm......

Oh yeah, we are so cynic
