There's a lot more to this author that the average poster. Deva Boone was commenting in this thread [1], she's a doctor. Seems sensible and makes interesting points. She was posting under https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=devaboone https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=devaboone. Just posting this because there's always kind of wacky things said about the miracle of vitamin D and I was interested in what an actual doc has to say (as opposed to us programmers ;-)).

- wyclif 6y agoInteresting that she never mentions the effects of sunlight on Vitamin D levels. I know she has talked about it in other threads on HN, but not in this article.
- petargyurov 6y agoThis was only part 1. I suppose in the next one she might. I hope she also covers recommended dosage and absorption.
- Havoc 6y agoMaybe she knows we’re all just sitting indoors in front of screens all day
- devaboone 6y agoHi, I'm the one who wrote the blog post. Thanks for commenting. Sunlight is important. There are a lot of things that are also important that aren't in the blog, simply because I couldn't cover all of them and keep the post to a manageable size. I like reading these comments to find out what people want to know, though, and what I should cover in the next post. Sunlight will be addressed.
- josephpmay 6y agoI recall reading a few years ago about an (Australian?) study That found that the non-bone health benefits correlated with Vitamin D were equally correlated with sun exposure. I’d be interested to know if any more research has been done on this.
- graeme 6y agoOne thing I’d be interested to know: do we know anything of differing outcomes based on source of vitamin D. I.e sun vs. vitamin D lamp (e.g. sperti) vs. diet vs. supplement.
