What about people who don't eat meat, eggs or milk? There aren't any fruit or vegetable sources for vitamin D? Those are all animal sources. What about people who don’t eat meat, eggs or milk?

I wrote <a href="http://editor.nourishedmagazine.com.au/articles/vitamin-d-and-the-flu" rel="nofollow">an article</a> about some studies in afro american inmates (those who die from the flu the most) recently which included a recent list of the highest Vitamin D sources for westerners, since we don't eat insects. * Anglerfish Liver (100g) has 4,400 IU * Summer Pork or Bovine Blood (1 cup) has 4,000 IU - Go the Haggis! * High-Vitamin Cod Liver Oil (1 tbsp.) has 3,450 IU -Green Pastures is the best brand * Indo-Pacific Marlin (110g) 1,400 IU - Which I wouldn’t eat because they’re endangered. * Chum Salmon (100g) 1,300 IU * Standard Cod Liver Oil (1 tbsp.) 1,200 IU * Herring (100g) 1,100 IU * Cultured Bastard Halibut and Fatty Bluefin Tuna (100g) 720 IU * Duck Egg 720 IU - YUM!

While an hour's sunlight a week may produce sufficient Vitamin d to meet the current RDA it will not do anything to reduce the current Vitamin D insufficiency epidemic. Heaney has shown that outdoor workers in Omaha average 2800iu Vitamin D daily which, as the body uses between 3000 -5000iu daily leaves them short during the Winter months. In order to obtain from sunlight sufficient Vitamin D3 to meet your daily need you require 15-20minutes full body (or as near to as possible) prone sun exposure when the erythemal index is at least 3 and your shadow is shorter than your height. Each 5 minutes a side produces 1000iu. If you are unable to get outside and/or during the Winter above latitude 37 when UVB is not available a CHOLECALCIFEROL Vitamin D3 supplement at an effective strength is required. "The case against Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) as a Vitamin Supplement" Lisa A Houghton and Reinhold Vieth explains why D2 should never be prescribed or used. Those concerned about safety may like to read "Risk assessment for vitamin D" John N Hathcock, Andrew Shao, Reinhold Vieth and Robert Heaney that shows no adverse events occur under 40,000iu/daily and a safe upper limit should be 10,000iu/daily. To achieve an optimal status of around 125nmol/L =50ng/mL requires a total intake from all sources of around 4000-5000iu daily. While a glass of fortified milk may be supposed to contain 100iu most do not and if they do it is in the D2 form which isn't well absorbed. Milk should not therefore be regarded as a reliable source of Vitamin D. “The urgent need to recommend an intake of vitamin D that is effective” shows the World’s Leading Vitamin D experts consider the current RDA amounts insufficient.
