Here's one of the vitamin D links. RB - I will look for the WHEL study as the WINS study is highly publicized. Also Rhonda, I agree with you about what kinds of veggies (ie: iceburg lettuce - things like corn, peas and lima beans I consider whole grains (or a more healthful starch versus white pasta or rice) but not a veggie like carrots, broccoli etc).
