It's well known that vitamin D is vital for calcium absorption and bone health and some studies have suggested it even has an anti-cancer effect, by playing a key role in activating white blood cells that protect the body from flu and cancer. http://www.healthywomenguide.com/sources-of-vitamin-d.html
As Tornado suggested two months ago, now is the time for people to be taking their Vitamin D to help ward off the winter blues. I recently wrote a short blog about SAD and Vitamin D. Your wonderful blog is a great addendum to my blog. Thanks for a great review of Vitamin D and please visit my blog at: http://www.metametrixinstitute.org/post/2010/01/06/Dont-be-SAD-read-this-blog-post.aspx

I totally agree with this article, but you left one thing out. Recent research shows that it also helps with S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) aka Winter Depression, so I increased my daily intake to 2000mg last year....I figured it couldn't hurt. Prior to this I was taking 1000mg for my bones.
