The New York Times of February 1, 2010, ran an article titled “Vitamin D: Miracle Drug: Is it science, or just talk?” The author writes, “But don’t start gobbling down vitamin D supplements just yet. The excitement about their health potential is still far ahead of the science. Although numerous studies have been promising, there are scant data from randomized clinical trials. Little is known about what the ideal level of vitamin D really is, whether raising it can improve health, and what potential side effects are caused by high doses.“ The author adds many short quotations from distinguished scientists. Having been similarly quoted in the past, I know how such statements may not represent the scientist’s view. After reading that article, concerned friends have asked me whether taking vitamin D supplements is worthwhile. Here is my response based on years of reading peer-reviewed scientific literature about vitamin D. YES.

AJCN 79:711(May, 2004)”Too much sugar, too much carbohydrate, or just too much?”
Since 1963, carbohydrate intake has increased by 126 g/day. High fructose corn syrup is now 10% of total energy intake, and diabetes has increased 47%. Opposite of fiber-rich foods, refined carbohydrates cause many chronic diseases, including colon cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
