Another "Nutritionist" Strikes again 🤨

[WillBrink]

I put nutritionist in quotes as we don't know if that's someone who was self described as such or a licensed nutritionist. While it's more difficult to overdose on vitamin D as some would claim, this person was put on 150,000 UI per day!

So the poor man - who had an extensive medical history - experienced side effects of the crazy vite D dose. This is via MedCram, which is a highly recommended YT channel. It should be noted there are protocols that call for doses that high to get people's levels of 25OHD up (which can only be determined by blood work...), but they are for short periods, followed by much lower doses to maintain the new levels:

People have all lost their minds. If people would just use a little common sense and listen to their bodies like our grandparents did they would live as long. Don't eat stuff from a lab (including supplements), eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full, drink when you're thirsty, and sleep when you're tired. I can't believe all these crazies who think humans have been doing it wrong for millennia, and that the answer is loading our bodies up with food and supplements that are mad science experiments and basically doing the exact opposite of listening to their bodies.

I don't agree and that's not supported by the science. There's no doubt some supplements are beneficial (my web site has 3 decades or so of studies discussing that topic...) and there's some that are a total waste of $. Note the doc in that vid takes and recommends vitamin D.

Agreed in that the basics of good nutrition is not that complex, but making things more difficult and complex than they need to be is what humans excel at I find.

Based on what I've read I think the best case scenario for supplements is that they turn your pee green. All people need is clean food, clean air, and sunshine. Unfortunately there's not much opportunity for medical science to profit from those things.

Then you are not well read on the primary lit, don't research the topic for a living... This is my lane.

I could post a gazillion more articles just like this one, going back decades. I don't know what your background is, but I can promise you that you're up against a whole lot of highly credentialed scientists and large well designed studies going back many years.

Here's another one from 2019, and the conclusion is the same as it was back in the 90s. Supplements don't work, healthy eating of real food only way to get nutrients. Like I said, clean food, clean air, and sunshine. Worked for our grandparents, and it will work just as well for us.
