God, can’t I just get vitamin D from other sources? I drink 24oz of milk a day and that’s about 75% of the RDI.

RDI for vitamin D is too low, and probably resulted from a calculation error. Should probably aim for 5-10x the RDI. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150317122458.h... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28768407

The article cites a study where large doses of vitamin D had no benefit.

I guess I’m screwed by these standards.

Eating vitamin D is not beneficial. Clinical studies have proven it, as the article says. Get some sun instead.

Which studies? Can you point me to the one you are talking about?

Have the clinical studies been confirmed by multiple independent studies?
