The Sunshine Vitamin Cure-All

The Sunshine Vitamin Cure-All

40% of Children Have Vitamin D Deficiency
How to Make Sure Your Kid Isn't One of Them

At least 40% of infants and toddlers, and 42% of teens, aren't getting enough vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," according to new research.
Vitamin D is produced when the body reacts to sunlight, and helps the body absorb calcium. Without it, people are prone to bone disease, autoimmune diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis and certain cancers, as the Washington Post put it.
The new Boston Children's Hospital research, on infants and toddlers, suggests that nursing mothers should be giving their children Vitamin D supplements, since human breast milk lacks the fortification given to store-bought milk.
Teens may also need supplements, researchers told the Post.
Another solution we humbly suggest? Go outside. While it is important to be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun, there's no reason people can't get more Vitamin D the natural way.
In our hyperconnected, hyperfearful times, we're more apt to stay indoors plugged into a computer, video game, television or PDA than to take a walk outside, play sports, fish or otherwise get some sun. Parents are increasingly concerned about the threat of pedophiles and the like, so children are less apt to just take off for the great outdoors unsupervised.
There were already good reasons to make sure – via whatever extra effort is necessary – that children aren't suffering from so-called nature deficit disorder. There's the food for the soul argument, the inspiration for creativity argument, the exercise for health argument, and now there's another: good nutrition.
It's a poignant commentary about a society when its children lack the sunshine vitamin.

Articles like this MUST stop!

They are cutting into the obscene amount of money I am making from scaring the crap out of everyone about ultraviolent radiation and, if this keeps up, I will have to give up one of my 3 mistresses and drive a Mercedes instead of a Bentley.

Re: The Sunshine Vitamin Cure-All

When I read this article I was thinking now I have another great comeback line when someone mentions tanning addiction, I'll ask them if they are familiar with nature deficit disorder.
