However, all is not lost as some of the big boys are listening to the
evidence:
"International Osteoporosis Foundation releases new position statement
on Vitamin D recommendations for older adults last month."
http://www.iofbonehealth.org/news/news-detail.html?newsID=327
The big problem in the UK is the lack of availability of high dose(
25-50ug) Vit D3. Calcichew-D3 Forte has only 10ug and is not very
palatable.
Fortifying food would be a good start. St Austell Brewery missed a
golden opportunity last summer when they brought out a beer they named "
Liquid Sunshine".
Also see Dr Robert Heaney excellent presentation this month on UCTV or
