Natural vit D is in cod liver oil, except the cheap type in pharmacies and chain stores where the natural vit D is removed and synthetic replacing it (no kidding) but the natural vit D is the real beneficial type. AND they do not have to put it on the label :o((( http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cod1.php http://www.drrons.com/cod-liver-oil-facts.htm
There is so much of this out there that it is a surprise that there is not a bigger revolution going on to protest this mislabelling. But then the government said you can pasteurize almonds and still call them raw!!! So again mislabelling. They can label things Like organic chicken, yet not feed them organic feed (thank the Bush Government for that one) There is a LOT of synthetic vitamins in our foods :o((( They do not add vitality to us and our immune system IMO is suffering for it (along with more chronic illness) though the American diet is also contributing, but the processed food have a lot of additives and synthetic vitamins (so it passes any test tube testing that such and such a vitamins is in the food as stated, but there is no info on if it is a synthetic vitamins supplement (but if it does not state natural, expect it to be synthetic) Louise -----Original Message----- From: Clayton Family [mailto:clay...@skypoint.com] Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 2:31 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>Vitamin D hype 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. kathryn On Jul 3, 2009, at 11:16 AM, Saralou wrote: > > > Today was a mercola, mike adams and a life extension article on D3 in > my e-box > > For a year or two now I've watched Vitamin D (D3 and more) get > increasing headline space in "natural" news than any other nutrient. > (Please don't pick at my language, it is inexact....if you can tell > what I mean, read on, if not, delete.)
