Great rant Neville. Right on the money. Anyone wanting to know more about
the D3 (and all nutrition) issues should really study the work done by Dr.
Weston A. Price. Natto and cod liver oil are indeed among the few
superfoods that can help us supplement, but unfortunately most cod liver
oil these days is useless (highly processed). The very best products can be
purchased from greenpasture.org

Vitamin 'supplements' (isolated) do not have the same effect as vitamins
from foods. There are countless complex factors that affect our body's
ability to absorb and use the vitamins we need.

Talking about mice is pointless, as their body can produce certain vitamins
that ours cannot, and that is why vitamin D is indeed poison to them.

The info at westonaprice.org will lead you to a great many resources for
knowledge and action.
