>eating healthy and exercising is not enough for a lot That's because both these interventions when followed in the way they are commonly understood are near completely incorrect. I blame the govt/medical profession for this. Other factors: again I blame govt/medical profession for this - example it's difficult to get unprocessed food unless one reads labels carefully. For example it is near impossible to get milk that is not fortified with vitamin D. As they say: the road to hell is paved with good intent. Granted that even after doing everything right there will be some people who will be obese, but that would be the minority. Again the govt/medical profession is to blame - for example I've heard that infants/kids are now given around 30 vaccines. With so many variables that have changed in the environment it now becomes difficult to isolate what is causing the health issues that predispose people to a lifetime of ill health

Wait, what is wrong with Vitamin D?

  Vitamin D produces short-term results, in the long run it is harmful. I cannot find a good article on it at the moment but dig around and you should be able to find it. And yes I know people rave about vitamin D.

    It doesn't exactly bode well for your argument when there's a wide body of evidence disagreeing with what you're saying, and you also cannot find the source of your claim.

      There is some evidence to suggest that vitamin d supplementation can result in increased calcification of arteries: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26995293/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26995293/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5986531/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5986531/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23109644/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23109644/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21406296/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21406296/ It's far from conclusive, but there is a mechanism of action that makes some sense, so it wouldn't be out of left field if it were the case. There's also some evidence that vitamin k can be used to help balance out the risk: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19386744/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19386744/ (More animal studies on K, too, but god knows how well those will translate to humans) In general it's all in the "Potentially a thing, more research needed before we start a mass panic" bucket. I personally wouldn't go buy a bucket of "ULTRASUPPLEMENT 10000 IU VITAMIN D HORSE PILLS," though.
