Instead of medical researchers, such as Autier, Streeten, and Lappe, et al, proselytizing the "benefits" of vitamin D supplements, they should be promoting the healthful benefits of a non-sedentary lifestyle-as in spending greater amounts of time outdoors rather than inside confined spaces, i.e., four wheeled vehicles, domiciliaries, and work milieus.
Dr. Garland and the unnamed vitamin D researchers are on the right track, re: agrarian times ancestors who were outdoors most of the time-sans clothing, lived healthier lives!
