Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 It says to me: Add a serum vit D test to regular blood test. " At this time, assessing serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D is the only way to make the diagnosis and to assure that treatment is adequate and safe. " Sun is preferred source. Regards.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 That leading edge mirrors some of what Kime wrote almost 30 years ago, but it's nice to see modern confirmation and renewed interest.I find the data point that obese people need more Vit D interesting. Perhaps the extra fat mass dilutes what's available, or perhaps causes some stress that consumes the available Vit D.Interesting tidbit the he mentioned in passing possible legal culpability for the widespread (bad) advice to avoid sunlight. Seems like another example where moderation rather than extremes makes sense. it wouldn't be the first time we flip-flopped on nutritional advice.I consider sun exposure a definite benefit from my jogging, and I still think folks living in the north should be allowed to claim a medical expense deduction for mid winter visits to Florida or Hawaii, to recharge their Vit D reserves. It appears risk of toxicity is near zero from sun exposure or consuming vit D rich fish, while newer supplements may offer some risk. Similar to the beta carotene- Vit A relationship, be careful whenever supplementing the final product of fat soluble vitamins.

Alternatively, how interesting if with fat loss one's blood levels of D3 go up, as they do with absorbed toxins.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Good point, I suspect the whole portfolio of fat soluble vitamins tick up during weight loss.This may explain some of the greater than logical benefit from modest weight loss.JROn Apr 1, 2008, at 7:59 AM, Maco wrote:At 10:49 AM 3/31/2008, you wrote:Alternatively, how interesting if with fat loss one's blood levels of D3 go up, as they do with absorbed toxins.MacoMaco acting Chief of Staff, Office of the Chief Information OfficerLos Alamos National Laboratory505-664-0131505-664-8410 pager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
