    Natural vitamin D is greatly different from the artificial vitamin D you are talking about at all, in meantime, there are the artificial vitamin D in the rice, flour, milk and other foods in the all markets, that is added as supplement artificially, the foods and the milks added in artificial vitamin D is not only no benefit but damages our body on spleen, lung, kidneys and liver. This means that the foods and the milks had been polluted by reasonable artificialness and it had last few ten years, result in a great number of diabetes, heart attack and hypertension patients generated by the foods and milks polluted in America’s markets. I have the experience that there are some friends who were diabetes patients with blood sugar about 290 mg/dl for few years, stopped taking or no longer touch all the foods and the milks polluted as well all medications they were taking. One year later, the blood sugar dropped by about 95 mg/dl, this indicates a fact that there has been no possibility of life-long disease with diabetes at all if no the artificial vitamin D. It is time that people know the artificial vitamin D is not supplement for our body but is chronic toxic chemical substance.

    this article fails to mention that a double blind placebo controlled trial was published by Lappe in 2007 that demonstrated vitamin D reduced the incidence of cancer in post menopausal women by 60-77% depending on how the data was analyzed. As a result of this study, which confirmed findings in over 60 epidemiology studies the Canadian Cancer Society recommended that the whole population of Canada take vitamin D to prevent cancer.
