because doctors only prescribe drugs and know nothing about health. Have you ever taken the time to look the people who take sooo many prescriptions meds? Do you really think they're healthy???
I was under the impression that sunlight synthesises the vitamin d out of the foods we consume. eg you can drink as much milk as you like, but get no sun and the vitamin d won't be taken into your system.
@ThePeoplesChemist yes but the ammount that u need in sunlight is naked 15 mins in time of 3to2weeks..people in areas that have less sunlight (scandinavia or other polar areas) haveto take significant ammounts of vitamin d3. not the people that live in sunny areas..read the vitamin d-3 article of 2006 and theres a whole book that talks about the benfits and deffiency..it reduces the prosentage to many flus and makes your cells to work efficiently when they get the proper food
@ThePeoplesChemist What if you live in a city where you do not get any sunshine? What if you do not have access to a tanning bed? The measurement is done with a simple blood test, right?

You make vitamin D in the skin. But taking it orally is VASTLY different. I did my masters thesis in organic chemistry on hormone mimics and showed conclusively that ingestion of hormones is in fact toxic, especially vitamin D! You are erroneously using skin production as a measure of oral toxicity. Absurd and dangerous. What if we swallowed estrogen and estrogen mimics? We'd get sick. Same with D! We bypass our innate protection. Google "Stink Award" online.

This is sooooo fascinating! If D3 is so good for us, how come doctors don't promote it?

@ThePeoplesChemist Hey smarty pants, how does the toxicity, if it really exists, manifest itself?
