Vitamin D Overdose...

I thought that you might be interested in the below info given that I had mentioned in my last article ‘Free Wonder Drug!’ that fortification of milk with Vitamin D was banned by various European Governments.

 

Remember that you cannot overdose with Vitamin D when it is received from sunshine. The body simply stores it in fatty tissues until it is ready to use it.

 

I appreciate that anything to do with sunshine is not very appropriate at the moment given that so many of our customers are in the Northern Hemisphere and somewhat short of sun at the moment.

 

Anyway, here is the extra info.

 

In 1963, the journal Pediatrics (Volume 31) revealed: "Consuming as little as 45 micrograms of Vitamin D-3 in young children has resulted in signs of overdose." (one gallon of milk contains 1600 IU, or 40 micrograms).

 

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Volume 326, 1992) revealed that of 42 milk samples, only 12% were within the expected range of Vitamin D content. Testing of 10 samples of infant formula revealed seven with more that twice the Vitamin D content reported on the label, one of which had more than four times the label amount.
