On how many levels is this inaccurate?

I read this in one of those muscle-head magazines while in a waiting room and I couldn't help but giggle at this:

It was discussing Vit. D and sunlight: "Since skin is the best way to absorb the nutrient, the sun is the perfect vehicle to deliver Vit. D"

LoL, I didn't know the sun sent down Vit. D for our skin to absorb.

But your skin has to be wet to absorb it, so that is why we sweat.

Ooooh, ok.

Now it's all coming together.

yeah, that is right!! Why? What have you been learning?

I don't know if you are making fun of the wording of the article or you didn't know vit D is produced in the body utilizing sunlight, but here...http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15585788

yeah he's making fun.

But if you want to get all technical now - the amount of vitamin D made in your skin with activating effects via sunlight exposure is actually pretty "mini-scule" in relation to the amount the body actually needs. And with the new research emerging on Vit D it may be that the requirement is even larger than we previously thought (the research says it is - many docs are operating on that belief - when you learn Evidenced Based Medicine technique & critique - its still considered a few notches short of "fact").

But dude - lighten up!
and yes I think its odd and ... funny may or may not be the right word - how much advertising, etc is "pseudo-health" and often pretty poorly represented if not flat wrong. lol.

happy april!

I don't believe you or that nih article you referenced. The muscle magazine was correct. Muscle Pump > NIH

I don't know if that's the case - we recently had a Vit D lecture where we were told that 10-15 minutes of full-body sunlight exposure will produce 10,000 IU within 24 hours (in caucasians), as compared to dietary intake which provides less than 10% of that (only 100 IU in a glass of milk, for example). I was under the impression that sunlight exposure was the number 1 determinant of Vitamin D status.

I was also taught that the primary source of Vit D is sunlight exposure.

this reminds me of a tanning commercial i heard on the radio - about getting "rejuvenated" and "refreshed" with a year round summer tan.... hello carcinoma.

there's autoregulation that prevents your body from actually making that much if you're in the sun all day. the general statement is that exposed face/neck/forearms/calves in direct sunlight for 15 minutes gives you most of the vitamin D you need in a day. having said that, vitD deficiency is actually a bigger problem than previously realized.

But won't the extra Thetans from the sunlight counteract any positive effects of the Vitamin D in the rays?

i remember when america discovered that there were people in the middle east, it was a huge deal that women wearing burqas had vitamin d deficiencies. do a search for "burqa (or burka) vitamin d" and a whole bunch of stuff comes up. i know this is only tangentially related, sorry.
