Plenty of Vitamin D - just the problem of having suffered a long winter and not being able to get outside as much as I want to. |

Plenty of Vitamin DIf I can get into its packaging, I'll have one Colecalciferol Benferol on top of having spent 6 hours in 20C today. |

QIt's public knowledge - you can even be jailed for not allowing your child to have a measles injection. Look up the anti-vax movement.Apparently in some US states they actually force you to have it by law!?Where did you hear that claptrap? |

Plenty of Vitamin D - just the problem of having suffered a long winter and not being able to get outside as much as I want to.What winter? Even in Scotland there were only a few days with 5 inches of snow. Easy enough to get out and about as normal. They haven't made exercise illegal yet. Some researchers suggest most in UK should take Vitamin D supplements throughout the year, never mind in winter when there is only enough bright enough light to be significant for about an hour or two around midday. |

Having a tan is NOT related to having had enough vitamin D (either by ingestion or metabolism within the body), it is the result of the skin being exposed to UV radiation and is a sort of cellular level protection. |

TOTALLY WRONG. One can get a really great tan without getting an adequate does of UV required to generate enough vitamin D. While the generation of a tan is in many people indicative of getting enough (of the right class of UV) some folks will tan even in the absence of any UV. And I am excluding the use of sprays and the like). Also there are people who will tan in the presence of the "right" UV and generate zero vitamin D. |

As someone who does not naturally produce vitamin D I would suggest I know a lot more about the production of the human production of vitamin D than you do. (But I do tan, sit outside on a old dark night and I will develop a tan) |

Psst Rob, that's called soot and means you have to ask your neighbors to clean their chimney. 😜 |

As one who worked as a nurse for thirty years and at one time could have listed the chemical pathways involved in the body's production of Vitamin D I am tempted to muddy the waters with facts but on this occasion will decline as I am sure Rob knows the same information as I do. |

Soot tends to be black around here ;-) |
