Many factors contibute to low vitamin D
Now, you KNEW I would have a Vitamin D article sometime around now----after all, tomorrow is the first day of winter (such as it is here in NC) and also the shortest day of the year (yay----starting Tuesday, the days get longer!). This article from the Missulian.com has some good information about Vitamin D, it's benefits, how to get your levels tested, and more. Good reading.

Now i can get that Vitamin D deficiency can lead to Rickets, Osteomalacia, and Osteoporosis. People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Today, Many societies around the world wore more clothing over the centuries, further reducing skin exposure to sunlight. These changes have brought with them a significant reduction in the natural production of vitamin D and subsequent diseases.
