Hi Cheryl, when you say that diet alone should get you "what should be your daily intake" what recommended daily intake are you referring to? One of the central points of the current Vitamin D "issue" is that the USDA's RDA for Vitamin D is, some say, entirely wrong and far far too low. Our ancestors lived and worked outside. They didn't have office blocks, cars, central heating or air conditioning. They lived outside and were exposed to MUCH more sunlight than your average "First Worlder" today. Diet isn't really the issue, IMHO. Our ancestors didn't get their D from their food.

Cheers,

-Seth
