70% of Americans do not get enough vitamin D (which can be obtained from the diet, or from the sun). Deficiency in Vitamin D increases the risk of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

A lot of people don't spend enough time in the sun. Glad I'm outdoors a lot and drink OJ with added Vitamin D.

However the article says to make sure to use sunscreen while in the sun, too much sun exposure can lead to skin cancer or skin damage.

It's a bit of a delicate balance, sunlight causes cholesterol to convert into Vitamin D, but sunlight also contains UV rays that can cause mutations in your skin cells.

I get a lot from milk. Obtaining it through diet is always ideal but getting it from a multi is better than nothing.

I'm sure the majority of the human population in general are deficient in a lot of nutrients due to obesity, malnutrition, or not enough exercise. Hell, there are more obese people now than malnourished people.

If you're not getting enough you can always take a mutlivitamin, which I know isn't better than the real thing, but at least it's something.

Maybe if we took some food from the obese and gave it to the malnourished we could solve both problems. Although I think obese people can still be deficient in some nutrients.

However it can also be harmful to have to much vitamins in your body.

I actually remember seeing an article stating that the world has enough food to feed 12 billion people, which is almost twice the current population of 7 billion. What the hell are we waiting for then?

Starvation has more to do with a corrupt regime than anything else. Even if all the obese people in the world started eating less those people in Africa would still be starving because the elite keep the food for themselves.

I've heard similar things too. I remember in high school reading in one of my books where a publication by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops stated that there is indeed enough food for everybody, but certain countries were using much more than they need. I also think Pope Benedict XVI has said that part of the reason people are starving is not because there is not enough food, but because the way the global economy is set up people in third world countries do not have access to world markets since they have no money and because many poor countries lack the proper infrastructure to transport food.

People starved under communism/socialism as well. I think 65 million Chinese died of famine during Mao's Great Leap Forward. Basically Mao wanted the country to industrialize so he told everyone to start making steel, which lead to mass famine since the farmers stopped farming to make steel (and really home made steel is pretty crappy). Also there was the Holdomor in the Ukraine where the Soviets purposely tried to starve the Ukrainian people

That's why I added "lol" at the end. Some people blatantly blame capitalism while others blame socialism or communism. Truth is, governments will be douches no matter if its capitalist, socialist, or communist. Governments have been @$$holes since their conception.

I'm sure 70% of Americans have more than just a Vitamin D deficiency. Too little fruits and veg, too little whole grains.
