Vitamin D deficiency

Everyone, watch out for new information about Vitamin D deficiency in American Females.  (Wait, this is unheard of in an industrialized nation.)   

What we know now is 1.  American women have an increase to osteoporosis and an increase in Vitamin D deficiency.   2.  The over use of sunscreen is causing the Vitamin D deficiency. (Our body uses the sunshine to make vitamin D.) 3.  There is a decrease in intake of cow milk which provides the perfect amount of Vit. D and Calcium for growing children and women.  4.  There is an increase in consumption of carbonated beverages which robs the bones of the stores of calcium.

Even the American Dermatology Association should be coming out with recommendations or guidelines to encourage the daily exposure of sun to obtain the Vitamin D necessary on a daily basis. They may even go so far as to recommend 3 - 10 minutes of 80% of total skin surface area to sunshine without the use of sunscreen everyday.  Wow!!

Okay ladies, lets grab a tall glass of milk and go sunbathe!

Most Vitamin D is destroyed in the pasteurization process, and is added back in- that's why most milk says "fortified with vitamin D" because it was *added*. Of course, you're still getting the vitamin, but my quibble is that people sometimes tout the health benefits of milk as though milk, in an of itself, is a naturally fabulously healthy food, when really it's a fabulously well fortified, and very expensively marketed beverage. That being said, now I want milk and cookies ;)

If you are interested in vitamin D you should take a look at www.vitaminD3world.com The Canadian Cancer Society now recommends that everyone take vitamin D to prevent cancer. The site has good summaries of the data and offers a new preparation of vitamin D in a micro-pill formulation. The pills have been formulated with cellulose which absorbs water very quickly. This ensures that the pill breaks up very quickly to provide for maximum absorption. The micro pill is tiny and tasteless. Many vitamin D pills on the market have very poor dissolution properties resulting in poor absorption.
The site also offers to supply customers with a free supply of 400IU for their children and it also has a good newsletter.
