Re: Calcium, vitamin D are critical to stopping bone loss
I love to argue with Eileen! She always gets bored with my tantrums and lets me win! hehe Personally, I really feel this kind of argument is a "stretch" for our industry, and for health science in general. Humans get old, they lose bone - "you can't stop it", but you can at least try to slow it down. But when it comes to Vitamin D synthesis from UV exposure, what are we really talking about? Yes, it's a vital component of the synthesis/absorption equation, but nothing to hang our hats on. And at what age does this typically start? I don't have that answer, but I can tell you that age group is not in our primary demographic. And besides, it's that generation today that did all the overexposing in the 60's and 70's that are helping to give this industry a "bad name" today.
There, I said my piece. I don't know if it makes any sense to anyone, but it needed to be said.
