From the post:
>Vitamin D supplements could help protect the caps on our chromosomes that slow aging, sparking hopes the sunshine vitamin might keep us healthier for longer, a recent study suggests. The researchers discovered that taking 2,000 IU (international units, a standard measure for vitamins) of vitamin D daily helped maintain telomeres—the tiny structures that act like plastic caps on shoelaces, protecting our DNA from damage every time cells divide.
Get sun, drink filtered water, eat eggs, drink milk, lift heavy things through multiple planes of motion at varied tempos, eat more steak, shower, get sleep. Rinse. Repeat.
IF the vitamin D is sourced from something that is bioavailable and IF the dosage is something decent, in excess of 10,000 IUs, or even more than 50,000 is the subject is chronically deficient in vitamin D.
I think the vast majority of the US population are Chronically Vitamin D deficient.
That is a fact.
Above a certain latitude it's impossible to get enough Vitamin D from the sun. Add in cloudy weather and such, you pretty much have to take a supplement or have a very good diet.
