Vitamin D, Black Tea and Walnuts in the news...

Vitamin D Significant for Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment:
Where does vitamin D come from? When the ultraviolet light in sunlight strikes the skin, it creates vitamin D. Throughout most of human history this light was the primary source of vitamin D. People are surprised to learn that very few foods contain any significant amount of vitamin D. The only significant natural source is fish. A number of foods are artificially fortified with vitamin D including milk and some cereals. Our ancestors didn't have fortified milk and in many areas ate little fish. Our ancestors were farmers or hunter/gatherers and spent a lot of time in the sun. Studies show that people who spend a lot of time in the sun can get ten times the amount of vitamin D we get today. The amount of active vitamin D they had in their blood was about double what the average person has today.
