Hi,

Got my first call asking if vitamin D supplimentation was really necessary.
Seems a pediatrician quoted a recent study that stated human milk was
deficient.  The mom told me that she figured that was "bunk, because how could
we have survived as a species if that was true?"

I asked her to ask her doctor where he had read that.

I did tell the mom that if she spent 1/2 in the sun every 2 weeks she would
have plenty of vitamin D for her baby.  She said THAT certainly wasn't a
problem for her.  (we're in sunny Florida, after all).

Thank you, whoever it was that posted the heads up on this study.
