I have literally no educational background about any of this, yet this was so well-written that I was able to understand most of it with hardly any cognitive work or re-reading. This only confirms my belief that informative writing should be written for the least knowledgeable person regardless of the assumed audience, and if anybody thinks you’re stupid for not understanding their informative writing, then that person is a jerk and should learn how to write better.

Thank you! I wrote the blog post, and my goal was to make it so that someone without any medical background could understand it. By the time I finished, I wasn't sure if I had accomplished that. The article is still pretty dense with medical science. So glad you commented.

  +1, I've heard so much about vitamin D in recent months (and even started taking supplementation myself)... this was super well written and informative. Can't wait for part 2 - please post to HN again!
