Re: CS>VITAMIN D DEFFICIENCYNo, you close the blinds and windows to shut the heat out, you wear sleeves to protect from the sun and it is too hot to be outside - you know "Mad Dogs & Englishmen ..... " well it's like that - heat doesn't mean one goes in the sun. So I don't think heat necessarily means we get enough D3 either. If you're not used to the heat it seems strange to shut the heat out I know but that's how it is. (I love Devon)

I, on the other hand, live in Devon in the UK where we have literally had two weeks of sunshine - without rain - in this whole year! I cannot remember two days passing, where it hasn't rained, and that is no exaggeration! And even if the sun did shine, I would never walk in it. I absolutely hate being hot so avoid sun at all costs. Therefore, as I am not a fish eater either, it would follow that I could be short of Vit D3. As I said in an earlier email, all cancer patients tested, were extremely deficient in Vit D, so it follows that there has to be a case for Vit D supplementation. dee
