Vitamin D: Beyond Bones and Teeth
New research has expanded our knowledge about the many more functions of vitamin D than traditionally thought. And at the same time, the vitamin D status of Americans has declined. This could be due to eating fewer foods with Vitamin D, such as fish, milk and other fortified foods and less time in the sun, i.e., indoor activities and jobs and more use of sun screen.
Is the current recommended amount of vitamin D adequate? Recent studies conclude that the RDI may not be high enough for the functions of vitamin D beyond bone health.
