RE my 23andme comment: ... this is version 1. I suspect that it will evolve into a useful diagnostic tool;... I had intended to say PREVENTION tool. Even today, should one know of a genetic predisposition, it's possible to take preventive steps to minimize the risk. RE negative Vitamin D PR. I don't trust the researcher's motives. He opens by stating that 75% of Americans are deficient; then makes the erroneous statement that partial skin exposure to the sun for 10 minutes 3 days weekly is enough for anyone completely ignoring the fact that for most of the year, most Americans are not at a latitude where sunlight will cause the skin to produce Vit D. There's a multinational task force reviewing the current Vitamin D dosage recommendation and limits. There's a massive body of evidence that it should be raised. This is the most negative view I've ever seen. As such it's an outlier. On the other hand, I'm probably an outlier on the Pro Vit D side. Happy Easter all, Ian
