Myths and Misconceptions about Vitamin D
Unfortunately, there are a number of myths about Vitamin D.
Following is a list of the myths that I frequently come across:
"I can't be low in Vitamin D because I drink milk."
"I can't be low in Vitamin D because I take a multivitamin as well as a calcium tablet that also contains Vitamin D."
"I can't be low in Vitamin D because I live in sunny southern California and spend at least 15 minutes outdoors every day."
"I read there is a high risk of Vitamin D toxicity if I take Vitamin D supplement more than the daily recommended dose."
