Hi, Neville -- your comment seems logical indeed. However, I live on the coast of Maine, where we often have 2 days of sun a month whether we need it or not.. Heavy clouds often. We often have to bundle up because of the cold and wind. SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a noticeable problem in winter for many. A couple of years ago, I began taking a little Vitamin D daily. I'm a naturally cheerful and upbeat sort at age 77. I forgot about it, and was surprised to feel a noticeable "lift" after a couple of weeks. I had done nothing else different. Judy Down Maine

I live in Australia for Christ sake, we get enough sun here that if you walked around under it for too long your body fluids would start to simmer, and eventually boil inside your damn skin, and they waffle on and diagnose people with Vit D deficiency.....?????? Shear and utter lunacy!!! Work it out for heavens sake. WHY and HOW can Homo Sapien in the 21st century possibly be lacking in ANY vitamin, AND mineral if it comes to that, because I have no doubt we are surely lacking in bucket loads of those too if they cared to investigate....??????? We are slowly being poisoned, deprived of natural nutrients in pretty much EVERYTHING we drink and consume, not forgetting those microwave terminators that we put food and liquid into before consumption. If this was a natural occurrence, we would never have progressed past the Stone Age....??? This lacking of vitamins and minerals is being forced upon every Homo Sapien on the planet pretty much, and with the dollar and profit as motivation. There is so much BS being spread around by those little people in their white dust coats that people are actually believing everything some organisation puts out. The FDA, our TGA and any other funded mob of laboratory Frankensteins all have vested interests in something OTHER than your and my health in mind!! There, I've got that off my chest, nobody need reply, just considered it was time for a voice of sanity and reason to be heard. N.
