Wouldn't it be fairly easy to separate the elderly who aren't vitamin D deficient from the ones who are? Sounds like a basic measure that could be taken.

- imtringued 6y agoIf the body can absorb vitamin D from supplements then it can absorb it from food as well so your statement is wrong. You can eat 2-3 eggs and you're done.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoI don't think eggs have that much vitamin D, though. I googled: It said 2 eggs have 87iu. To put this in perspective: I take 800iu as a maintenance dose to keep my vitamin D levels up. (I'm doing this under a doctor's supervision: I've been sick with low levels and she does blood tests occasionally to be sure). 2 eggs is simply not enough.
