above comments appreciated (i.e. on amount required)
Furthermore I could not help noticing that the study was carried out in california..not sure the control group would have got much less overall vit D (proportionally to the amount they would have got from sun exposure). It sounds to me like the equivalent of give an extra apple to eat to people that are fructivorous and see if it makes a difference..
It is different for folks living in higher latitudes especially if they have dark/olive skin (they need longer exposure to get vit D)..l
There is no one cause to BC, but I really beleive that vit D, albeit lack of, is a contributory one for a number of people .
