While (I think) I agree with you on the facts here, I don't think this type of dismissive comments are that useful either.

Can you give the replyee some pointers, for example? Link to articles or studies that show a different view?

Just Google it. There's tons of research on this so I don't know why I need to provide a specific link when this is common knowledge.

But also here is something to think about: your body will produce more D3 than that by being in the sun for just several minutes. So if you consider such a low dose of D3 an overdose then you better steer clear of the sun!

This is another superficial statement, that displays shallow-at-best understanding. Staying in the sun and producing via the skin, and intake via food are 2 separate pathways. You cannot just make wild assumptions about one of those pathways from stuff you know about the other pathway.

And actually: Yes, you shouldn't stay in the sun for too long without proper protection. Having the sun shine on your skin is not some inherently healthy thing. It too comes with acceptable dosage and overdose. Symptoms of overdose are commonly known as getting a sunburn.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

The problem with "Just Google it" that you can find a lot of bullshit on this.

You can find scientific papers on Google if you know how to use it.

[zelphirkalt]

You can find scientific papers on a lot of search engines, not only Google.

The problem with that is, that you still need to know how to interpret any results and statements within the supposedly scientific papers. If you are not a statistician, you might overlook methodology mistakes. If you are not an expert in the matter of the paper, you might not realize some side condition, that makes some statement or result of the paper irrelevant for your individual situation.

Another overly verbose worthless comment from you. Why do you continue spewing text like this as if you're actually helping anybody?

[johnisgood]

I do, but surprisingly a lot of people do not.
