It&#39;s surprisingly cheap, too - only $8 or so for 90.evalinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07988918622750834564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-52912781482393410942009-01-29T18:02:00.000-08:002009-01-29T18:02:00.000-08:00This was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to write it up. I have liquid drops that are 250 IU that I give my son, but will increase the amounts. I was told for babies not to use more than 250, clearly that's not what you do in the northwest.<BR/><BR/>ShaktiShaktihttp://ww.lovejoyharvest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-63780330969004193072009-01-27T14:14:00.000-08:002009-01-27T14:14:00.000-08:00nevins - Thanks for the cancer and D information.<BR/><BR/>Shirley - Thanks for the additional info on vit.

I'm an undergrad in nutrition and am applying for a master's program to begin in the fall. Vitamin D and senior nutrition is my focus and I appreciate all vitamin D info I can get!Kboigirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10388718767926124924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-12473650062966096002009-01-19T06:41:00.000-08:002009-01-19T06:41:00.000-08:00Outstanding article, Ali! What a great conference that must have been! I just took my daily dose of Vit D (varies from 4000 to 6000 IU) along with my other supplements. Vit D is needed by so many. And, I truly believe that once you've had celic/gluten intolerance, you will need supplementation on some vitamins/minerals forever. And, high quality supplementation, at that. I've reached satisfactory levels in several areas before, but over time, without supplementation, I slide back to below average and feel poorly--even eating very well.<BR/><BR/>nevins--Not only does vitamin D lower an individual's cancer risk, it also lowers the risk of recurrence (undertandably) if one has had cancer. Yet, I don't know of any local doctors who tell their patients about Vit D. I've had numerous relatives who have had cancer. When I tell them about the value of Vit D (and other supplements), they dismiss it because their doctor has not mentioned it. Then there are the annoying news reports from time to time on studies that indicate that people who take supplements are no better off than those who don't and that folks are wasting their money. I know differently. (Who does those studies? And, how are they conducted?)<BR/><BR/>Shirley<BR/>http://glutenfreeeasily.comGFE--gluten free easilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-57717757816342786752009-01-03T09:00:00.000-08:002009-01-03T09:00:00.000-08:00Taking 1000 international units of the vitamin D daily could lower an individual's cancer risk by 50-per cent, they said.
