I’m working on the supplement chapter for The Paleolithic Solution and I wanted to share a few goodies I’ve tracked down in my research. The first is a link to theVitamin-D Council. This is an outstanding site that draws heavily from evolutionary biology as part of the analysis of Vit-D requirements. It’s interesting, 20-30 min of summer sun exposure can produce 10,000-20,000IU of vitamin D, but yet the governmental recommendations are for an anemic 200IU. This amidst mounting evidence adequate Vit-D may help prevent everything from H1N1 flu to cancer, diabetes and autoimmunity.
If you decide to get your Vit-D the old-fashioned way and spend some time in the sun, here is a cool toolfor figuring out how many hours are available at your location under varying conditions. You will just need to track down your latitude and longitude. Here isone link for finding that, and hereis another.
