or 'supplemental' sources anyway;)   as vitamin D can be extracted from
fish liver oil.   and cod liver oil is a good source of D (depending on
brand).  though, we may not be able to get 'optimal' amounts of D from
Cod Liver Oil b/c  A intake would be too high.

The research on D is just really starting to make inroads.   It's a very
very serious health issue in developed parts of the world and needs to
be taken as such.

Danny,  thanks for the excellent D 'primer'.  I'll try to post more if I
can tonight.

~who takes 1200 IU vitamin D daily in the summer and 1600 IU vitamin D
daily  in the winter.    i've followed my D levels with labwork for
about a year now and this is what's been needed for me to keep my D
levels in *optimal* ranges...as opposed to lab norm ranges.
