[...] Vitamin D is naturally produced by the human body in response to sun exposure. Traditionally, it has been believed that people living in sunnier climates would naturally maintain healthy levels of vitamin D as a byproduct of their surroundings. Closer investigation, however, has repeatedly shown this theory to be flawed. And the substantial lack of vitamin D documented among children living in sunny Bogota serves to only further underscore the need to better understand the depths of this misconception. [...]

ummmm.. I’m certainly no expert, but it looks like every “claim” is linked to a credited source, for both the benefits and the side effects of vitamin d. But, since you somehow missed the link to the side effects, i’ll just leave it right here.

Maybe you should fully read and click on the links in the article before making shallow criticisms.. Just a thought. Cheers!

Can you please list resources that support your claims? I hate when I read an article full of claims but lacking the origin of those claims. Where did you find the side effects of taking too much D? I’ve never heard of them before nor have I heard them mentioned by some one else. The article is too shallow and is a horrible pitch for the supplement. Either explain fully each claim, (for side effects or deficiency) or support your claims with resources. It will give you better credibility. I had to research each one of your claims for side effects and I couldn’t find any links between D and your mentioned conditions.

Vitamin D is very essential for bones and especially for growing kids. I was aware of this fact but you have mentioned much elaborated description of Vitamin D and the diseases caused by deficiency of it. I was not aware of all these diseases, which you have mentioned here.
