It tends to end up in shite food because the people most at risk of pellagra and rickets aren't the ones eating a balanced diet, so there's still a good argument for fortification (and better diet information). Fortify all the milk substitutes too. e: 1987 - UK television networks begin a week of HIV/AIDS public education to dispel widespread myths.

I'd be all for a national food service that ensures relevant nutrition is available free at point of use. The "free market" has failed to provide affordable nutritious food and has instead spent decades figuring out how to just about keep us alive and addicted to their poo poo. Shocker. Biggest problem with current fortification amounts is they're laughably low dose. You'd need to be chugging milk all day every day to get in a week what I get in a single tiny pill. This also means ditching the "fat is bad for you" myth once and for all because a lot of micronutrients are fat soluble. We need to get a serious hold on the amount of omega 6 in our typical UK diet as well. NinpoEspiritoSanto fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Dec 6, 2019 |

If you want to take vitamin d, you should, there just isn’t much clinical proof showing it does anything. Anyway, if there were a case to be made for it, supplementing it to food would be the right way to go. It’s added to milk, with vitamin A in the us. And flour is supplemented by law in the uk, so it isn’t as if there isn’t a handy local precedent for it. I’d wager a number of milk alternatives are supplemented to boost the nutritional value, so if there was a good reason or demand, vitamin d could just be added to the mix.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Here's the thing though. Quite a few of us on this thread have testified to how much better vit D makes us feel. There's no placebo effect with fortification. The act of spending 8 pounds a year on the off chance that it makes you feel better is probably a far greater boost to well being than the actual deficiency (as previously mentioned in this thread, benefits of supplimentation science is flakey). Take a moment out of your day to care for yourselves, people. Do a little exercise just for the sake of it. Merely trying, objectively, does wonders.

mediaphage posted:there just isn’t much clinical proof showing it does anything. Uh Vitamin D deficiency is a real thing with some pretty lovely effects. We definitely do not get enough via sunlight in most parts of the northern hemisphere, considering actual sun time and skin exposure due to clothing. Sunscreen also means far less Vit D synthesis in summer months. This leaves food which is hit and miss due to low dose and affordability of other natural sources/aversion to eating offal. https://examine.com/supplements/vitamin-d/ Vitamin D supplementation is likely to fail if you're insulin resistant or maintain a low fat diet because you're not going to be tapping it back out of body fat at any discernable rate in the former or taking it on in the first place in the latter.

sad to announce that while the Czech Republic does have the dialling code +420, none of its regional codes go up to 69. Yet. I figure we can force in some EU legislation to right this wrong so long as we don't Brexit - another great argument for Remain.

On the last page there’s a good article talking about this, though: https://www.aafp.org/afp/2018/0215/p254.html There’s just not a lot of good evidence that supplementation does a lot if you don’t have some kind of acute deficiency that’s been diagnosed. Even for people with low serum levels of vitamin d. This is on top of how many supplements have way, way more vitamin d than you’d ever need. The people who could be most concerned are vegans who don’t go outside, see the sun ever. And I’m not making a joke there, but I suspect this thread / forum probably has a higher incidence of such a group than the standard population.
