Respectfully the Mayo Clinic information is out of date and its information is seriously dated. I think, based on what has transpired in the last 2 years, they would probably like to revise their position.
The scientists, researchers, and doctors comprising Grassroots Health have long been at the forefront of vitami n D research. The Mayo Clinic has many areas of interest, not just vitamin D investigation. And frankly, the documentation and scientific proof is irrefutable. So much so that the research findings have been sent to all world's national medical authorities (including our own) for dissemination and introduction to respective national health policies and guidelines.
Vitamin D deficiency is many millions of times more common than vitamin D toxicity. In fact I would like you to cite, identify, or validate only 500 cases of same that were not industrial accidents. Please present them any time while I present you with at least 200 million in this country alone. Nobody above the latitude of central Georgia- in winter- can be vitamin D replete (50 ng/ml 25 OH D) without supplementation or regular, moderate tanning.
I will revise my request from 500 individuals to 5. And those 5 may be from any decade of which documentation can be produced. I have quite the lead on you already so I can wait as you sift through the archives.
Humans can easily tolerate 10,000 i.u. per day with no ill effects whatsoever. That is of course any easy statement to make- and to prove- when one realizes that it is well documented that white skinned people synthesize 20,000 i.u. in 15 minutes of sunbathing - high sun angle.
Please check the facts and reevaluate your position. Vitamin D research has moved very quickly and unless one is reading everything available- for the last 3 years- and I mean EVERYTHING- then they will not be aware of various developments.
Vitamin D supplementation/repletion most definitely reduces breast cancer cases dramatically. And by far the biggest problem to carrying this and much more is the fact that most medical professionals know less about D than they do malaria- seriously speaking.
Do take the time to read the cited links on my previous comment and then follow up with the internet vitamin D sites- Vitamin D Council- Vitamin D3 World, and Grassroots Health. There is a world of hope
