Pat, You may also find this informative: http://westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/vitamin-d-safety.html: "Most of these recommendations, like most of the research on vitamin toxicity, fail to take into account the interaction between vitamins A, D and K, which may be the most critical point to address in a discussion of vitamin D's toxicity. In fact there is compelling evidence to support the premise that vitamin D toxicity results from a relative deficiency of vitamins A and K." - Steve N

I got to lie in the sun 1/2 hour today since it is 71 and sunny, but this only happens about once a month in the winter. They are saying that 1/2 of the people are deficient in vitamin D in the winter. But this is natural and how it has always been, so I don't know if we should mess with nature. I wonder if there are any statistics to show that there are less colds, flu, and other disease related to vitamin D deficiency closer to the equator. If they really are related to that, there should be more the farther north you go. Pat
