" Vitamin D is produced in our skin by exposure to sunlight . 15-30 mins several times a week is all we need to supply us with adequate vitamin D . This then needs to be converted to the active form which is responsible for keeping cells throughout the body in optimal condition . This super charged vitamin D has to be made in our kidneys by conversion of the vitamin D made in our skin followed by sun exposure and that absorbed from the food we eat . This super charged form has to be made in our body . What we eat however , is a crucially important determinate to how much super charged vitamin D is made as well as how well it works once it is made in the kidneys Because the active form of vitamin D is crucial to maintaining all individual cells in optimal condition disruption of its work can result in a wide range of diseases . Animal protein has a tendency to block the conversion of vitamin D to the active form . If these low levels persist the result is prostate cancer , as well as cancer of the breast , colon , osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases such as type 1 or insulin dependent diabetes ,and many others. Also, persistently high intakes of calcium create an environment where the super charged vitamin D declines . Most doctors are not aware of this and therefore recommend both higher intakes of dairy products and calcium supplements thinking they are reducing the risk of osteoporosis . We then need to within our bodies convert this into the active form of vitamin D . "- A direct quoting from the documentary " A Delicate Balance " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QX03hBITWA.
