Controversy Surrounding Vitamin D Intake

The podcast challenges the conventional wisdom around vitamin D intake, highlighting the controversy surrounding the recommended daily allowance (RDA) set at 600 IUs. The speaker questions the origins of this number, suggesting it may have been arbitrarily chosen to deter people from taking higher doses. They discuss how historical practices like sunbathing were effective in treating various health conditions, pointing out the shift towards sun avoidance and concerns about vitamin D toxicity. Research findings from the University of Illinois Chicago contradict prior reports of vitamin D toxicity, indicating high dosages up to 1 million IUs did not result in toxic effects.

Historical Overview and Controversy Regarding Vitamin D Recommendations

Today, I’m going to tell you the truth about vitamin D. The current RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units), which is about 1/10 of a milligram. Vitamin D is a controversial topic, probably because it can help so many!

Heliotherapy, or sunbathing, was used in the early 1900s, before vaccines and antibiotics, to help with TB, asthma, osteoporosis, tooth decay, psoriasis, mood issues, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.

The government commissioned the University of Illinois Chicago to conduct a study on the toxicity of vitamin D. This study lasted nine years and involved hundreds of doctors, 773 patients, and 63 dogs. They used 200,000-1,000,000 IU of vitamin D, and no toxicity was found.

Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, explains that many vitamin D researchers are not receptive to the wealth of data about its benefits.

Data shows that areas close to the equator have the lowest risk of MS, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and diabetes.

You will need more vitamin D if you have vitamin D resistance, are older, have darker skin, or weigh more.
