The “scientific consensus” that has held sway for four decades regarding both exposure to the sun and vitamin D has collapsed. What has emerged in place of the old “settled science” is the knowledge that most people in America are seriously vitamin D deficient or insufficient. The same is true for Canada and Europe, and the implications are staggering.

It would seem that the zero-tolerance of sunshine, so favoured by dermatologists since the 1970s, is wrong. With advances in computer processing and the decoding of the human genome, for example, it now appears that a remarkable 2000 genes are influenced by vitamin D.

I appreciate that many on here will not be interested but, for those who are, this is a fascinating read:

Apparent "scientific consensus" is seemingly not all it's cracked up to be. Next stop: global warming.

“settled science”

Now where have I heard that one before? :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

This is how science works. 

We will have FTL travel.  We may even visit the stars.  Let me assure you that Einstein was wrong.  I won't live to see this proved, but proved it will be in the fullness of time.  After all, it took 250 years to find what was wrong with Newton's model.  It may taken even longer to find Einstein's error. 

Every scientific theory we accept today has replaced an earlier theory, which, in its day was seen as the last word on the subject.  And you can be certain that everything we accept as a scientific truth today will eventually be superseded by a better theory. 

Years ago I read a book called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn.  It expalined the history of science in terms of the "paradigm shift".  It should be essential reading for all scientists, and for all those who wish to comment on scientific discoveries. 

It's why I'm not unduly worried about you know what

A normal Vit D level is between 30-100 mu, SWMBO was recently tested and scored 14!  After several weeks of high dose Vit D therapy she is a changed person.  Full of energy and her previously poor memory is back to normal.

I am waiting for my results......

That's astonishing. Makes me wonder what my level is.

We should all take a daily multi vitamin tablet. It cant do a lot of harm but has the potential to do a lot of good.

agreed.. the only side effect is, I start to feel I need baby production simulation at least

i take 2 multi vit's with a glass of orange juice every morning 
i don't feel any better for it but if i do miss out for a few days, i feel cr*p and can hardly get out of bed in the morning 
must admit i do tend too eat sh*t food and at the wrong times

I am sure you mean "stimulation" there Cem as that certainly gets me going, raises the pulse, and I am sure gives me new energy levels! 8-) 8-) 8-)   It is certainly very exciting!!! [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]

I am waiting for his school to say my son's lunch box contains crap (though it's quite healthy) and that I'm going to jail if I dont buck my ideas up.
I shall merely flourish his chewy vitamins at them and await my official apology.

Not too sure about us humans lacking in vit D but as the owner of a cali king snake and a water dragon, I can testify to the effects on reptiles of VitD defficiency-not nice! Happily both are now well looked after and healthy due to a combination of research and TLC. As in the debate on human health however, a quick dip on the net will soon show you many contradictions in advice on looking after these animals  :-/
