Did you know that government agencies (USDA) don't list naturally occurring Vitamin D levels in fish, fish oils, and egg yolks. Whats the reason you may ask? Currently the RDA levels for vitamin D is set at
400 IU sounds good right well 1 tbs of Cod liver oil contains 1,360 IU of Vitamin D. If the USDA were to list these levels for fish and etc, they would have to raise the RDA standards regarding the daily intake of Vitamin D. Dr. M.F. Holick stated in 2000 that "The Vitamin D levels in the human body should never fall below 3,200 IU and levels below 2000 IU are considered serious deficiency states and will increase your risk of breast and prostate cancer and autoimmune diseases like MS and rheumatoid arthritis. Currently 30%, 42% and 45% of white, Hispanic, and black elderly were vitamin D deficient. The Human intestine is lined with vitamin D receptors known as VDR's. These VDR's are present in the bones and kidneys as well. When the VDR's are at full absorption of Vitamin D (about 5000 IU) then the body is capable of absorbing 2000% more calcium and other minerals for your body, essentially curing your body of vitamin deficient disorders which account for nearly 80% of hospital visits.
