My dad, a research physician, has been telling me about this study. Now it's out and in the news: 'low levels of vitamin D [are] "always significantly associated" with a higher risk of death' and 'people with higher vitamin D levels tended to be healthier and more fit.' According to dad, nobody gets all the Vitamin D they need from sunlight - even people in Hawaii were tested and found deficient! What age to start taking it? "Oh, 11 or 12." How much? This article is more conservative, but I'm sticking with dad: "The studies suggest 500 mg/day, but the researchers themselves are taking 1000 mg!"
