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?
