When my children were small, I asked my GP about sunshine - it was the start of the skin cancer scares, I suppose. His answer was as much sun as possible, but never let them burn. Not a lecture about sun cream and covering up!

Thanks Gilli and Ted. I will have a read of all those later.
I think I just get concerned that so many in our country trust the nhs and yet they seem to have this one so completely wrong (and other points too). I am happily now taking 5000 iu although being obese it looks like that should actually be more ... I think my concern is more that I have told my mum to take at least 4000 and am now doubting myself!
Mum has never eaten cream or milk (unless in icecream, cheese or cooking) so there is a potential risk of osteoporosis.
She has increased from 10iu to 2000 for now (she obviously had her doubts too!)
With all the YouTube videos and papers I read, OH has already asked if I am turning into a scientist! :D
My brother is a GP and for years he has been attending conferences sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. He is a very nice, gentle and caring man but I do not trust his judgment because he believes what he learns at these CPD events where they are wined and dined royally and the company propaganda is promoted hard.Quote:

A problem solving profession not a follow the guidelines to prescribe x office job.
Nail on the head!! You've hit it!Quote:
