People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
I've even had to stop eating any food with vit D in it as mines too high!! I hope for my sake that my limited eating isnt going to be made more limited because everything is being fortified with extra!!
I hope sunshine and supplements become norm ratherthan adding in to foods..
They should also consider though that d3 needs k2 and calcium.. does the average person nowadays also eat enough food with K2 in to make theD3 affective.
Are they going to make D3 tests available for everyone easily to have?
High D3 levels are dangerous.

I was prescribed by Rheumatologist and started taking Vitamin D3 - 4 drops daily for Bone Pain way back in August, 2016. I have gone through 'Winter' without having a single Cold and/or Chest Infection and as for the Bone Pain? = still got it.

My D3 was initially prescribed by an Oncologist after bone DEXA Scan that showed good density..
No D3 level was checked then in my blood.
I was told to take it due to the hormone tablets from cancer...
6 months later my gastroenterologist does D3 and calcium test and although thankfully they are in sync my D3 was really high... greater than 150.
Despite stopping D3 supplements at that stage my levels are still that high!!so now have had to stop eating food with extra D3 added in to it...
Please, everybody do not just start taking D3 from the media saying we should.. please ask your GP to do a d3 and calcium test first..
High D3 is dangerous too.
