Whom are you gonna believe?


According to a recent massive analysis that assayed the levels of 58 essential nutrients in Americans, only 3 % of American Caucasians had “inadequate” vitamin D levels (American Blacks and Hispanics had lower overall Vitamin D levels than whites).

If you turn that around, according to this report from the Center of Disease control (which is a pretty objective health authority) 97 of white Americans have “adequate” vitamin D levels.

However, many other health authorities, including several prestigious cancer groups, feel that most Caucasians actually have “low” vitamin D levels and that most of us would benefit – especially in lowering our risk of cancer - from taking extra vitamin D.

So whom are you gonna believe?
