-----Original Message----- Dear colleagues, A Christmas poser.... If animals are covered in fur how do they make Vitamin D? Could this explain why dogsand cats rarely live into their
20s? Seriously though, I have read that they synthesise Vit
D in their fur (which is absorbed when they are groomed?) but if this is true
how come humans don't synthesise Vit D in hair if we are descended from the
apes? Happy Christmas! Sean Maguire ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open
