Has anyone read this?  It sounds like highly irresponsible reporting to me.
The blurb reads:  "RICKETS REDUX, virtually eradicated by the 1960's, the
childhood ailment rickets, a vitamin-D deficiency that leads to soft bones,
poor growth and seizures, is making a surprise comeback.  In a study, doctors
found 30 cases among black babies whose mothers had breastfed without vitamin
supplements.  African Americans are vulnerable because dark skin inhibits
absorption of sunlight, needed to produce vitamin D.  Tip for moms:  use
supplements---breast milk has less than 25% of the vitamin D babies need."
Now does this sound wacked out or what?  Please comment one and all.  Jane in
