A five-year study of 800 women revealed that only two participants maintained an ideal amount of vitamin D.
The physician who authored the study is a staunch advocate of the sunshine vitamin’s reported health benefits – so much so, that she personally supplements vitamin D on a daily basis. She also cautions that drinking milk does not provide adequate amounts of the vitamin, especially for children.
