The importance of Vitamin D and why you are probably deficient in it.

For years, most of us assumed we'd be fine if we drank milk and took a multivitamin pill to get an adequate amount of Vitamin D. But in fact, that's a very wrong assumption. If you avoid the sun (and thus the resulting 20,000 units of Vitamin D we can absorb from 20 minutes of exposure to summer sun) you can't get enough vitamin D from milk unless you drink 40 glasses a day or from a multivitamin unless you take about 10 tablets a day, neither of which is recommended.

Studies report that most of us are vitamin D deficient and those deficiencies may well be causing numerous illnesses, especially cancer.

Recent medical research indicates humans may need up to ten times more vitamin D than is currently recommended. Study after study shows many of us are vitamin D deficient and may be paying a terrible price for it.

Benefits of proper vitamin D supplementation seem to include most major illnesses, not just cancer. Heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, chronic pain, depression, hypertension, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, premenstrual syndrome, muscle weakness, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and various other autoimmune are also implicated by recent research.
