Just when you think you know it all.... you don't. This is a good thing for us all to remember and especially our medical and nutritional communities.
(and of course the government goes without saying!)

The Take Home Message is: 
1)  We need much more vitamin D than previously thought.
2)  One sized does not fit all!  Age, weight, health, body size, activity, location affect the amount you need.(and possibly other considerations not yet  known!)
3)  We could wipe out Vitamin D deficiency in a year and thus reduce many illnesses.
4)  I bet that would do more to help health care than all the plans devised in Washington & it would be a heck of a lot cheaper!
5)  Consider joining the study of vitamin D available at Grass Roots Health


 The following video is about the need for vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. Turns out we need a lot more than previously thought because Vitamin D may help  prevent many more health  conditions than we were aware of. The information on the benefits of Vitamin D is coming out fast and furious. Your doctor and certainly your insurance company ( and our government) are not keeping  up with it. So that leaves it up to you .... mostly moms. It is too important to ignore.

This is a bit long but certainly entertaining and very informative. So blow off the nightly news (if it is really important-- you'll hear about it tomorrow and the day after) and sit down and watch this 58 minute video) Because unlike  most of the news, this will affect your life, your children's, your spouse's, your friends', and family's.

 Here are some other resources to learn about vitamin D.
 Mercola on vitamin D: ( another very good video!)
