Rep Power: 35 | Short & Sweet "Sun Exposure Linked to Vitamin D" Linked to Vitamin D August 8th, 2007 @ 8:48am Tom Callan, KSL Newsradio You want your kids to get A's and B's in school. But don't forget the D's. Low on vitamin D, sunlight, for 5-year-old Max. So the doctor ordered this prescription for Tanya Turek's son. "The doctor said [we] need to have him out in the sun 10 minutes every day without sunscreen," says Turek, "and that will bring up his vitamin D." But what about sunburn? "It's a fine line. Who knows?" says Turek. "So we'll try it." Max faced two other choices: Some multi-vitamin, or downing a half-gallon of milk a day. No wonder he's taking the extra rays.

Rep Power: 26 | Re: Short & Sweet "Sun Exposure Linked to Vitamin D" A recent study showed that most milk had far less vitamin D than advertised on the label. The "bottom line" is that you would have to drink 5 - 10 gallons per day. Try 15 minutes per side of California sun exposure (at noon) or 5 - 10 minutes in a sunbed. |
