brest milk contains less vitamin d then formula's because the mothers are usually deficient too therefore the kid gets less. VItamin d from food is impossible you need so much that your levels will be below 50 forsure. the sun is the best (NO sun screen because it blocks uvb and uvb is what triggers the formation of vitamin d on your skin).

The biggest factor in the upsurge of Vitamin D deficiency is carbonated soft drinks, like Coke and Pepsi.. These drinks are high in phosphorus which leaks Calcium from the bone in order to keep serum Calcium levels adequate.
