A major study reported last May concluded that healthy post menopausal Afro-American females taking 1000-1200 mg Calcium and 400-600 iu Vitamin D didn't:t get the improved bone density of Caucasian females. Look at the dose, There were no blood measurements done?

There are many individual variations in the ability to convert Vitamin D 2 into the active D3, Conditions such as diabetes, renal problems, pigmented skin , old skin that have an effect on the sun vitamin D conversion
. I believe the the vitamin D blood test should be the guiding principle, rather than debating sun verse supplements. The new research on VDR( vitamin D receptors being a factor in determining Vitamin D absorbtion and requirements,)

The things we are discovering about vitamin D and sunshine (and I suspect there is more to sunshine than just vitamin D) are so amazing! About two weeks ago I became aware while reading this blog that the one part of me with bad skin was the one part that doesn't get any sun. So I went out in the mountains and got some sun on it (watch out for paragliders). Problem gone! Then I got to wondering about the Japanese ladies around me. They all have such clear skin! But they are really modest. Then I noticed one in an outdoors hot bath. She'd turned and placed her arms and head on the rocks at the pool edge, and everything of note was just below the surface of the water. I guess that is considered modest enough. Other than the hot springs, women here avoid the sun, but at least they are getting some benefits, and it shows.

Here's an excellent article on the subject that was just recently placed on the WAPF web site and is authored by Chris Masterjohn:
Vitamin D in the Infant: Requirements for Safety

I haven't finished reading it yet, but what I've read so far is very good and will likely be of interest to many.

This article did actually mention getting sunshine as a source of Vitamin D. It is at least a start, it also stated that we need approximately 10 Times as much Vitamin D as the RDA's that are published at the present time.

I harken back to someone's salient comments, in a previous Vital Votes post, on the natural ability of domesticated, as well a wild, animals to "take in the sun"...

We as a species, have so badly forgotten basic needs that nature provides for FREE, as well as harmful dietary and artificial intake practices, is it any wonder our overall health outcomes, among us, are so poor?

Quote: "sunshine is far more important than human diets"

That's inconceivable to conventional wisdom!!!

Several more very important web pages to read:

Sunlight is FOOD!:
http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/sunlight.htm

The Electromagnetics of Health
http://www.sungazing.com/science.html

Then study Breatharianism - Very Rare - But It Can Be done.

Isn't it amusing that people always seek 'pills', looking for that 'magic pill'?
