[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 229986, member: 42777"] Nothing wrong with challenging current understanding or assumptions. And I completely agree with the poster in this thread who pointed out how much the supplement industry is flooded with products that are useless at best and harmful at worst. And we’ve all seen some absolutely laughable studies used to conclude a supplement is helpful. It’s always good to review our understandings since it’s possible we’re wrong, and new information comes out occasionally. As far as that article, not sure exactly what you’re wanting us to look into/debunk. When you see stuff like this: “Obviously I’m not a medical doctor or a researcher. What I’m sharing is what I’ve come across or turned up in my own search for answers.” And this “Kristin, the founder of [URL='http://www.sassyholistics.com/']Sassy Holistics[/URL], also does not recommend “blind supplementation” which is effectively what’s happening these last two years. For her, “isolated, synthetic Vitamin D makes us absorb calcium in all the wrong places, it is hard on our liver and kidneys, it destroys Vitamin A stores, as well as potassium and magnesium.” Furthermore, she sees “adrenal fatigue, thyroid disorders, renal failure, insomnia, kidney stones, and even hospitalizations” for low potassium and high blood pressure as well as calcification of the placenta, as a result of supplementation of isolated Vitamin D.” You should look into the source for their claims. At the bottom where the author links studies, I just see a few articles about studies and then links to more articles or youtube videos. And this is from one of the “studies” [B]Methods: [/B]Low serum 25(OH)D is also found in healthy persons exposed to adequate sunlight. Despite increased vitamin D supplementation inflammatory diseases are increasing. The current method of determining vitamin D status may be at fault. [B]Conclusion: [/B]Some authorities now believe that low 25(OH)D is a consequence of chronic inflammation rather than the cause. That is not a method. That’s just someone going, “well, more people are supplementing vitamin d and public health is getting worse so it’s ok to conclude that vitamin d doesn’t help.” That’s honestly such a bad way to present “information” that I find it laughable. And that’s not to knock you, just an example of why we should look through the sources being used to make these claims. [/QUOTE]
