NICE article in Newsweek

RandyR · 01-17-2005, 04:05 PM

Newsweek Jan 17, 2005 article "Health For Life - Diet and Genes" on page 47. Titled "A Neglected Nutrient" says "Are Americans Dying From a Lack of Vitamin D?"
The article talks of Vitamin D being most efficiently produced by the body and only when exposed to sunlight. "I dont like to overstate things," says Dr Robert Heaney, a vitamin D researcher at Creighton University, "but I think we may find that vitamin D deficiency is a public-health crisis."
The article speaks of Vitamin D possibly helping to "prevent breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers by slowing the division of cells" as well as much more amazing Vitamin D info.

Is the tide about to turn??

We can only hope. I would print that article and have in the lobby of your salon for all your clients to read. Anything positive is good.

Cool. I'll pick up a copy today and have it available to the salon.

I hope we think about using this in our stores, but what about the offers that have been made in the PTAF forum? Can a grip or the other dm person come up with posters so we can hang them in local gyms? How do we get the word out?

That's a good idea DWhite. So many of the posters I see in the disty mags are eye candy, or lists of medications, etc. Some relevant posters would be nice. I know SmartTan has some in their store, but multiple sources would be nice and probably make the overall quality go up.

Anyone know a good place for prefab'd poster holders can be found? My wife likes some she saw at Hollywood Tan, but I really can't go in and say, "Hey,I am your competition across the street. Can you tell me where you get stuff?"

Target carries some nice frames for posters.
