The article is confusing. It doesn't state how much vitamin D is too much or what the consequences of having too much vitamin D are. Then there is this paragraph:
"The body also makes vitamin D from the sun, although in the winter in the northern half of the U.S., the sun is not strong enough for vitamin D production. While their diet may not supply enough vitamin D for many people, the sun provides enough to make up the difference, the report said."
Apparently, in the winter people should take vitamin D supplements.
- Afton 16y agoI read it to be saying that even in the north, (I live in Seattle) you are fine with the vitamin D from your diet and the sun that you get. However, I can't see how that's possible. For at least two months of the year, I basically only see the sun on weekends, and it's usually cloudy. (Plus, I don't eat the vitamin D fortified foods they mention, but that's probably not true for most people here).
