Re: Vitamin D May Block Cancer and Other Diseases
Despite all the nutritional
Science and the debates that go with it, it shouldn't be this complicated.
The sun will provide all of the Vitamin D3 that anyone will need, depending on your skin type and density, but the body (in its own innate wisdom) will shut down production of this hormone precursor after the body has had sufficient exposure.
The problem lies with inadequate or insufficient exposure to sunlight on the skin, such as in the Winter months. The only way round this is by supplementation with a high quality source of the Vitamin.
There are very few natural resources of Vitamin D from food, hence the need for supplements.

On the other hand, the trace mineral
Iodine can be a food/diet problem with a potential lack of
Iodine in the diet. If ones diet is extremely varied then deficiencies should not occur.
Deficiencies can produce the following symptoms:
Goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland)
Fatigue
Weakness
Depression
Weight gain
Concentrated food sources of
Iodine include sea vegetables, yogurt, cow's milk, eggs, strawberries and mozzarella cheese. Fish and shellfish can also be concentrated sources of iodine.
What then is the problem here? If someone would like to explain further.
