We had been speculating why the medical profession has been so slow to accept vitamin D.
Probable reasons appear to include:
- Myth: Excess vitamin D will turn the human body into marble
- Reversal of position for many previous supplements.
- Risk being sued if exceed guidelines
- Experts do not agree
- Doctors were rarely been trained in nutrition
- Emphasis on treatment, not prevention
- Doctors often can only prescribe D2 anyway
- Seems like too much of a “wonder drug”
- Fear possible loss of income
