US RDA Vitamin D math mistakes cost the world about one Trillion dollars annually
The US Institute of Medicine made 4 Vitamin D math mistakes in 2010
The IoM finally agreed that they made math mistakes in 2017
Instead of RDA = 600 IU, it should have been 8,800 IU (14X higher)
However, an IoM panel did not want to be embarrassed by publicly admitting mistakes.
The world copied the US mistake of 600 IU
$1 trillion math
Global health spending for 2018 = $8.3 trillion
75% reduction in office visits in patients taking lot of vitamin D
Assume reduce all medical care costs by half
Assume only half of the people would take lots of vitamin D
Thus, decrease in health care costs =12% = half X half X 75%
- 12% of $8.3 trillion = $1.2 trillion

The 2nd panel did not want to publicly admit IoM mistake (or were bribed)
Costs:
Medical care
75% reduction in office visits in patients taking ~8,000 IU daily
Global health spending for 2018 = $8.3 trillion
Extremely conservative estimate of savings of 12% due to 8,000 IU daily = $1 trillion
2X increased incidence of many diseases
- Early-onset Cancers, Obesity, MS, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, etc
Reduced productivity
Reduced IQ and income, etc.
Reduced viral infections, such as COVID
- 8,000 IU would have prevented more than half of the COVID hospitalizations, disabilites, and deaths
