Question Conventional Wisdom on Vitamin D
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D, set at 600 IUs, is an arbitrary figure established by a committee, which may have been influenced by a desire to prevent excessive intake of certain nutrients. This minimal dosage equates to only a fraction of a milligram, raising doubts about its adequacy. Historically, vitamin D has sparked considerable debate, suggesting its potential benefits might be far greater than widely recognized, warranting a reevaluation of commonly held beliefs about its importance in health.
