Vitamin D is distributed to babies and young children all over Europe (E.g. Ireland, Poland).
And it is not pointless for whites, quite the opposite, white persons have more trouble producing them from the sun than darker ones.
- fjellape 10y agoI agree that it's not pointless, but I have to disagree with your second claim. Could you provide a reference for your assertion? The science I have read on this indicates the opposite: "Increased skin pigment reduces the capacity of skin to synthesise vitamin D3" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673682902148 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673682...
