Excellent new book about the importance of vitamin D for bone health.
The Complete Book of Bone Health, by Diane L Schneider, MD Sept 2011, $15
It is the best book on bones that I have ever read AND it has a lot of information about vitamin D and bones as well.
She really knows all aspects of the science of bones, AND is able to communicate the information to the average reader.
A rare combination.
