Vitamin D
Here we have the Cancer Council utilizing their slip slap slop campaign for many years. Now there is the results stating that we are not getting an effective amount of a vitamin D from the major source available to us – the sun.
Now there is talk that Vitamin D should be added to foods in Australia or as in Canada in the milk. Stop what happens to people who have the required amounts of Vitamin D in their systems what are the research results of those people if they have an overdose. Australia I would assume has a higher ratio of sunlight per day compared to Canada.
I believe the Cancer Council have to some degree take responsibility of this issue in the lack of Vitamin D in people with their campaign. Yes, it is good to educate people but the one thing they have not been educated on is the reason for Vitamin D how our bodies use Vitamin D.
For me personally it helps fight cancer yet the Slip Slap Slop Campaign does the same but at the same time it removes the one building block our bodies need to protect us at the same time.
Educate people on responsible health care in this area, as long as your protect yourself in the strong hours of the day for the sun and allow your body in the off hours to obsorb the sun, you can have the best of both.
