According to these articles, it is so rare for anyone to overload on D,
that even taking 1 or 2 grams a day for the winter will not cause a
problem for most people. I thought the Q & A at the Startribune site
was so interesting, as the doc really went into quite alot of detail
that was not in the articles I read here recently. In fact, some are so
deficient that even taking grams a day for a year, they were STILL
deficient. So testing is fine, if you have the money, and a doc that
will say yes; and sunshine is the best form, but for those of us living
north of Atlanta ( in some studies, and it is about the 33.5 parallel))
some supplementation for some part of the year is a good idea; longer
the farther north one lives. Here in Minneapolis ( the 45th parallel),
it is the entire fall and winter, from the end of Sept to April. I have
been at zero (blood tests) in January, so I used up all the summer sun
by then.
Plus, there is always a disclaimer for all health info, for legal
purposes, and then some docs want total control over people's lives,
and do not want anyone to do anything without their say so.

the trouble with Vit D supplementation is, that it 'can' be overloaded
and that can cause severe problems so it should be approached with
caution. Mercola suggests being tested for it first. dee
