\"\"<\/a>This article came out this morning <\/a>from the NYTimes, and it reflects the culture of health that has become so very skewed over time.<\/p>\n

This article is emphatic. We need to give <\/span>our kids supplements to prevent Vitamin D disorders and many other dreaded ailments.<\/p>\n

I wonder what we ever <\/span>did prior to before these pills were here to save us. But, not to be completely flippant, let me just quote from the article: <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>To meet the new recommendation of 400 units daily, millions of children will need to take vitamin D supplements each day, the <\/em>American
Academy of Pediatrics<\/em><\/a> said. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em>But according to this article<\/a>, a person will produce about 20,000 units of vitamin D after just 20 minutes of summer sun exposure. This means that we have the capacity to make enormous amounts of vitamin D very quickly.<\/p>\n

The NYTimes article cites, as the reason you really must give your children pills, the fact that if you only got your Vitamin D from Milk, you’d have to give them 4 cups per day.<\/p>\n

The authors know that simple sunshine produces a lot of Vitamin D. And they don’t even acknowledge this in the piece, citing a faux reason that we must be compelled to turn to the pharmaceutical industry to save us.<\/p>\n

Because of this obvious omission, the article must be revised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
