Right. And 15 years ago the amazing benefits of soy were at the top of
everyone's list.
It's not that there weren't good things in soy; it's just that most of
those things, we have since learned, are not bio available or they
offset something vital or any of a host of other problems (like causing
cancers). FDA recommends that consumers incorporate four servings of at
least 6.25 grams of /soy/ protein into *...*www.*soy*bean.org/health.html
It is new that Vitamin D is being touted as a cure-all. Oddly, the FDA
hasn't changed the RDA......not that either are trustworthy. But with
all these docs and scientists doing tests way beyond "standard medical
convention" the whole thing just looks oddly familiar.
Several years ago I could argue all the benefits of soy just like now we
can show all the whys and wherefores of supplementing with synthetic
D3. Seems strange. Was hoping someone else was thinking or knew of a
money trail.

There deos seem to be a real problem with people getting less D the
last 20 years, and it has been increasing. In the USA, the widespread
use of sunscreen contributes to it, as does not going out in the sun
at all. In addition, so many people live in more northerly latitudes
that do not receive much sun for many months on end. In historic eras,
those who lived in northern regions had less skin pigmentation, which
allows more D to be naturally synthesized in the body. But now people
live all over regardless of skin color.
D is not produced in any food- it is made by our skin, andother
organisms also make it. So supplementation is often necessary. It is
in cod liver oil, does anyone remember the school nurses handing out
tablespoons of cod liver oil? This was to provide D. So this is
nothing new. Now it is easily and cheaply available in pill form, so
the need to force cod liver oil on kids is sooo yeasterday. ...........

Is this something here that's patentable? Is it the byproduct of
big biz somewhere?
It reminds me of Soy 15 years ago...which is why I wonder if
something else is going on. This is exactly the way soy began to
become a necessary part of every hidden ingredient and everything we
elect to consume.
Where is the connection? Is there one? What's the real deal?
