Default Don Smith Article: Vitamin D: How Much Is Enough?

Did you happen to read the latest Science & Technology article from Don Smith and Patricia Reykdal is titled, "Vitamin D: How Much Is Enough?"

Here is an excerpt:

"There is a virtual flood of articles in scientific and mainstream media pointing out the health benefits of maintaining a sufficient vitamin D level. The not-so-good news is that almost all of those articles recommend taking supplementary vitamin D to resolve the pandemic of vitamin D insufficiency. The bad news is that only a few articles have told the public the truth—that UVR exposure is the best way to obtain vitamin D, and in only a handful of articles did the authors acknowledge that the best way to maintain a sufficient vitamin D level is utilizing the controlled ultraviolet radiation exposure (C.U.R.E.) that is available at a professional indoor tanning salon.

The fact of the matter is that we must continue, on behalf of the American public, to expose the vested-interest lies told by the sunscreen industry and the dermatology community—until all media routinely recommends the year-round use of C.U.R.E. to help resolve the pandemic of vitamin D insufficiency.
Even understanding this, we are left with a few questions:
  • How much UVR exposure do you need to attain/maintain a sufficient level of vitamin D?
  • How many days are required to attain/maintain a sufficient level of vitamin D when taking vitamin D supplements?
  • How does stimulating vitamin D via C.U.R.E. compare to the use of vitamin D supplements?

Another bite of the elephant-in-the-room... slow but sure.

Good job Don!
