...Imagine how many wrong perceptions are related to all other vitamins. My hope is that at least dr C is right about Тhiamine...

Problem for us in New Zealand we don’t get enough in winter as the angle of the sun’s rays means it is not possible for the skin to manufacture it in winter and the amount stored in summer is depleted over winter. There aren’t any foods with enough in them.

This sort of BS is really tiresome. See my writings:

When Good Doctors Prescribe Bad Medicine

How Big Pharma pollutes the scientific record and propagandizes doctors.

Bisphosphonates (Fosamax, etc.) increase fracture risk and should not be on the market.

Statins are effective but dangerous.

Vitamins D and K and a couple of minerals improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and prevent hardening of the arteries. In so doing they result in better outcomes than both bisphosphonates and statins.

Junk Science, Bad Reporting Propagate Unhealthy Misinformation Regarding Supplements

A recent survey of the literature entitled Supplemental Vitamins And Minerals For CVD Prevention And Treatment alleges supplements are not useful for the prevention of CVD. It purports to be a comprehensive survey of the impact of supplements on cardiovascular disease, but it is not. It ignores vitamin K, which, along with vitamin D, are by far the most important supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Most importantly it defames vitamin D.

How To Create An Invalid Review Of Studies

One way to create an invalid review of studies is to mischaracterize what a key study says. What follows is the detail of how that was done

park_bear,

I totally agree, when you are talking vitamin D in terms of bone health, it is pointless if you do not include the cofactors for vitamin D as they all help to improve bone health as a team. It is akin to playing 5-man basketball with one player, you won't do well! There is no mention of the cofactors at all!

One of the sub-studies attached to that article talked about a study in the elderly for fracture evaluation in which they gave the participants one dose of 500,000 iu of vitamin D and expected it to last for a full year! Obviously it didn't and of course the fracture risk increased. Again, no mention of the vitamin D cofactors! Our bodies were never meant to handle that type of high dose vitamin D and I would think if anything, that study proves just that, we are not setup to use 500,000 iu of vitamin D all at once! Daily dosing is more effective and more consistent with how man would naturally obtain vitamin D from the sun.
