We have entered a reactionary period when many 'Educated' people are questioning what has moved from being obvious to being the unassailable truth. Taking D3 and associated supplements ( like Mg, K2, C, CoQ10) do influence one's life expectancy. But it seems to be in vogue to question this, and cite 'facts' that split the hairs of common sense.
Perhaps my friends and relatives are fed up with my advice. Many have laughed at me, questioned my statements, and hence passed into the netherworld. My certitude can at times be a real pain in the ass for some. But the facts become clearer as the days roll by; and there are fewer and fewer of those who chuckled at me for my recommendations.
Pogeu has been supporting these concepts of health almost since ECharters established this thread; and was long a real pain in the ass to the thread founder. Eric, was pulling cable across windswept snow covered Canadian forest well into his seventies could question much of this, but the reality was there then, as it is now. Eric was into food solutions, and not so supplement oriented, and perhaps that was the crux of the dispute. The decades have, however, shown that the truth is pretty much constant; the only real changes are the views of the fractal reflections of that truth.
The facts are that it is almost impossible to overdose on D3. That your body will 'burn' off excess D3 at times, and that if given enough UV exposure you don't need to supplement. For instance, Polynesian fishermen are in the Sun all day, they eat D3 rich foods, and there is no discussion of overdosing. They are, during their active lives, among the healthiest of people on earth. Intellectuals are mostly FOS marginal callers who avoid and the realities of life, unhealthy clowns who are too afraid of the world to immerse themselves in it. They are out to make a buck on the hairline distinctions, which they discuss from the comfort of their padded chairs perched before remanufactured realities.
If you have a problem with D3 supplementation at higher levels, then buy yourself a regular supply of Fish Oils, and drink a half cup a day. But don't' tell anyone, as some jerk-off will sooner or later discover that you are 'killing' yourself. |
