[Guest guest]

Sorry: they do mention sunlight, but don't emphasize it as they do getting

it from supplements.

Here's an article which says that Vitamin D supplements are actually MORE

desirable than getting Vit D from food. Curiously there is no mention of

the fact that one of the best sources of Vit D is from sunlight. ( A while

back we had a discussion of the many desirable aspects of getting enough

light through the retina and going outside even on dark cloudy wintry days.)

" Vitamin D, which the body makes when exposed to sunlight, may help prevent

multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, two studies suggest. The

findings may help explain why the two autoimmune diseases

are more common in northern climes, where sunlight is often scarce, the

researchers said.
