[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 29519, member: 1"] Interesting stuff I was reading about. I am trying to figure out how to up my levels of D3 without taking vitamins. I read about certain groups being 5 times more likely to have auto-immune disorders. These being Native Americans, blacks, and Hispanics. Something they have in common is having darker skin tones which means their bodies require far more sunlight to produce proper vitamin D3 levels. Fair skin (if young and not overweight) only requires about 20 minutes a day of sunlight whereas very dark skin (if young and not overweight) requires 2 or more hours per day. The rise in auto-immune disorders started in the 1960s (in America anyway) when people started working more indoors and spending less time outdoors in the sun. It got even worse in the 1990s when people were told to always wear sunscreen (which prevents 97% vitamin D3 synthesis). I feel like there is a connection here. Outdoor offices need to become a thing. Same with schools. Have shade and non-shade areas. Get people more sun! [/QUOTE]
