What do you think about putting Vitamin D in tap water in some states?

[apples and oranges]

It seems a great deal of our population is lacking the right amount of Vitamin D, and it's causing all sorts of health problems. A lot of people don't like milk anymore so that's no longer a reliable source of Vitamin D.

2. How about not screwing with the water supply?

Last thing we need is more dumping of stuff into what should be clean, pure water. You shouldn't have to pay a dollar a bottle to get unadulterated water. You want more Vitamin D, go soak up some sunshine, it's free.

3. What about people who don't drink tap water?

4. The Dr told my Husband to start taking it.

he started having problems, it seems it can trigger kidney stones. Needless to say he stopped taking it.

5. Leave the water alone and let people find their own source of Vitamin D.

This could be done through education.

8. They add flouride, so why not Vitamin D?

[virgogal]

10. They shouldn't add flouride either.

6. which states?

and why? is the deficiency regional - like in the Pacific NW or places with long winters?

[slackmaster]

7. No. It's fat soluble, and some people should not take Vitamin D due to medical conditions.

For example, some forms of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

9. A bad idea

Vitamin D is one of the few vitamins that you can get too much of. My doctor has had me reduce my intake.
And I was only getting it as part of my normal diet and outdoor sun exposure.

12. I guess stepping outside for 5 minutes a day is out of the question

[tammywammy]

13. We have a plentiful source of Vitamin D readily available

It's called the sun. Don't add any more crap to the tap water.

14. I think Vitamin D is better distributed through chemtrails...nt
