by
Recent, groundbreaking medical research has made a connection between Vitamin D deficiency and 17 types of cancers, including breast, colon, and prostate. Illnesses such as influenza, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and coronary heart disease have also been connected to a lack of this vitamin. Until not too long ago, not getting enough Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) was on

Although it is written over 10 years ago it provides a lot of information about the studies and research that were made at that time about vitamin D. Now reading it is nice to see that levels and recommendations about vitamin D intake has increased a lot comparing to time book was written. I.e we could buy only about 400 IU vitamin supplements at that time but now it is completely normal to find 4000 IU from apothecary in my home country. Most important knowledge from the book is that vitamin D

Il libro è utile, molto utile, e si legge piacevolmente. Purtroppo come molti libri similari la maggior parte delle pagine è dedicata a studi, esami e casistiche, che poco interessano il lettore medio (probabilmente sono più adatte a chi studia medicina o affini). Non mancano comunque alcuni contesti utili e interessanti anche in queste pagine.
Il lettore trova però la vera e propria utilità nei capitoli che mettono in relazione la mancanza di vitamina D con quelle che sono le sue problematiche. ...more

Very well written, great information...
I live in Phoenix, Arizona and when my doctor ran a Vitamin D lab test, I kind of laughed, to myself. How could I possibly be deficient in the sun vitamin? Well, I was. I avoid the sun like crazy after having squamous cell carcinoma removed from my nose. Of course I'm vitamin (hormone) D deficient. I take vitamin D3 daily. After reading this book, I'm going to immediately research a credible company that sells a reliable source to ensure I'm getting an accu ...more

Important information for everyone on the sunshine vitamin
Good information, but a bit dated. New studies show the importance of vitamin MK-7 (K2) when taking high doses of D3. I didn't see this in his book, but he does provide a website with this information. I wish he would update his book and make it available on Amazon instead of the older book. ...more

It's a Revolution
I have been trying to think of a good review. My Old Man's blood test came back low on Vitamin D. So I decided to read up on it a little bit. We love in Kingman Arizona, and I don't have a deficiency in Vitamin D. So this book was super informative, he thought he could get vitamin D from food. Nope. You have a vitamin D deficiency I suggest this book. ...more

Though I loved the information I picked up from this book, I found it boring and repetitive. The information I really wanted was tucked into the last few pages, yet by then I think I had figured it out. Like many non-fiction books, this one followed the method of telling us there's a problem, why we have the problem, and what research has been done. The problem was repeated over and over.
On the other hand, my personal experience with my doctors has made me more than curious about this vitamin. ...more

Take your health into your own hands and read this book! 50% of people in North American (worst in Canada) are deficient in this vitamin/hormone and it's causing us all sorts of serious health problems.

This little book is a quick read, but packed with valuable information. I had no idea until my dr put in on high dosage vitamin D just how important it is. This book brings to light a lot of the risks of low vitamin and how and why to increase your vitamin D intake.
I would definitely recommend this book; it is a pretty quick read and the research he presents on the benefits of vitamin D is very convincing. We will definitely be taking vitamin D supplements this winter!
A very thought provoking book about how vitamin D helps prevent many diseases. Some of these claims haven't been scientifically verified but the evidence points toward it. This book is similar to Holick's book "The Vitamin D Solution" and this author references that book.

I loved this! It is easy to read and really has some good information with studies to back it up! I am definately taking my D supplements this winter!!
EVERYONE should read this book! Lots of interesting info.
An informative book about Vitamin D, which is not actually a vitamin at all, but a hormone. We are mostly deficient in this most necessary hormone. For more info, read it.
I absolutely loved this book. So informative.
subject matter was good, writing was poor.
