    quote from the article:

    "Except during the summer months, the skin makes little if any vitamin D from the sun at latitudes above 37 degrees north (in the United States, the shaded region in the map) or below 37 degrees south of the equator. People who live in these areas are at relatively greater risk for vitamin D deficiency."
    Where exactly in that quote does it say many people have it?

    "For these and other reasons, a surprising number of Americans — more than 50% of women and men ages 65 and older in North America — are vitamin D–deficient, according to a consensus workshop held in 2006. "

    Get that data from that consensus workshop please. What about the large number of people between 1 day old and 64 years old?

    dude, quit trolling. i provided enough evidence in here. get a new hobby.

    lol at "NONE". that is a blatant lie, unless you don't actually talk to anyone.

    Really? Because I have grown up with them. It's not some family you see every 10 years. Also I worked for a hospital in Manhattan and still currently do work for one, one of the largest health systems in the city, responding to 911 emergencies. I deal with patient medical histories all day every day as part of my job. Ask me how often I come across people that are Vitamin D deficient.

    Also, go ahead and post the evidence that you have that people in "our" area are vit D deficient. I found nothing. You claim iit's easy to find so provide the supporting evidence.

    Same here. My PTs barely have vit D listed. I usually only see it in elderly females residing in "nursing" homes. I also work in the NYC 911 system, so I am curious as to where you are getting those facts from.

    So you are on an ambulance all day, just like I was. And you say none of your patients' medical histories included Vit D deficiency. Funny, that was never something I was really concerned about during an emergency. Did you ask any of those people if they had even been tested for it? Did you personally see their bloodwork?

    Really? You never looked at a pt medication list in an emergency? Wow. That's actually a frightening statement.

    You know who has a Vitamin D deficiency? Dr. Acula. Not sure if it's due to diet or lifestyle.

    I don`t need as much vitamin D as my ancestors were vikings!
    There. An unfounded statement. I don`t think we even know what optimal levels are or what is a deficiency for whom.
    I see Mercola, eyeroll, and the New York times have been cited here...
    The naturopaths and chiropractors have muddied the water again.

    Yes, I add it to my diet in the form of Vitamin D3 for a variety of reasons. Interesting to hear all of the positive feedback.

    This doctor at a medical convention 2012? is presenting research on Sleep and how low Vit D3 can cause bad sleep.

    It is about one hour long but is broken down into 5 parts. Part #3 is where she gets deep into medical conditions that may be related to low Vit D3.

    Just because some is a DR does not mean they do not give dangerous advice. You know what they call the person who graduated the bottom of their class in Med School? Doctor.

    I've had a physician who gave a confirmed hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke heparin. You can bet when I went to transfer them to a different hospital I stopped that medication immediately. By your logic, since he was an MD, there was nothing dangerous about that right?

    Elphie since you apparently have not listen to what the doctor said who was dressed as and sounded like an female you may want to listen to her practice findings with real live patients. I applied no logic because I never said 'there was nothing dangerous'.

    I (as one holding an OD degree from SCO 1986) listened to the doctor's presentation TWICE before linking it in this case. Since her peers asked her to make this presentation would care some weight with those who likes peers to approve of medical findings.

    Please listen to the presentation before replying. Thank you. Gale Hawkins
