Yours isn’t the only research the IOM ignored… The IOM, however, ignored his findings.īut don’t feel bad, Dr. He also co-wrote one of the 2009 reports on vitamin D I mentioned earlier. He’s a vitamin D expert and Chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard. You see, before publishing the new vitamin D guidelines, the IOM board consulted with Dr. The authors of the IOM report most likely knew about all this research…they just chose to ignore it. But to get up to those higher levels of 25(OH)D, you need more D3. Lastly, numerous studies over the years show that the more 25(0H)D in your blood, the greater your bone density. This is what it takes to protect you from accidental falls and fractures. Plus, the International Osteoporosis Foundation recommends men and women have 75 nmol/l of 25(OH)D. In fact, 28 separate studies found that 50 nmol/l isn’t enough! Two major meta-analysis’ from 2009 found that 50 nmol/l of 25(OH)D in your blood isn’t enough to protect you from a fracture or a fall. And there’s some solid scientific proof to back me up… Hurray! Just 1.2 minutes in the sun! That’s all you need to keep your bones strong. (Most experts say you make at least twice that much…but let’s not get picky.) So, how long does it take for your body to make 400 IU of D3? Let’s assume that your body makes 10,000 IU of D3 for every 30 minutes spent in the sun without sunscreen. But let me put this another way to show you just how silly the IOM recommendation really is… And that level will protect us from fractures. Now, stick with me, because here’s where it gets interesting…Īccording to the IOM report, taking just 400 IU of vitamin D3 per day will give 97 percent of us a blood serum level of 50 nmol/l. We measure 25(OH)D in nanomoles per liter or nmol/l. When you get a vitamin D blood test, we really want to see how much 25(OH)D is in your blood. Vitamin D3 passes through your liver and it turns into a pre-hormone called 25-hydroxycholecalciferol.

In fact, spending just 30 minutes in the sun without sunscreen, your skin will produce anywhere from 10,000 IU to 50,000 IU of D3! Plus, you can also take D3 as a supplement. Your skin makes this natural form of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
But they actually mean 400 IU of vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol). The IOM says you only need 400 IU of vitamin D. But before I go any further, here’s a quick biochemistry primer…
People age 71 and older may require as much as 800 IUs per day because of potential changes in people’s bodies as they age.”Īgain, this is pure nonsense. The IOM report also states that “North Americans need on average 400 International Units (IUs) of vitamin D per day. So how the IOM can confidently claim the “majority” of Americans get enough vitamin D, I have no idea! get enough vitamin D…and that’s just nonsense. Leave it to the IOM to redefine “majority”įirst off, the IOM report states that the “majority” of adults living in the U.S. But I’ll explain why my paranoia is well-founded a moment.)įirst, let’s look at the three major problems with the IOM research. In fact, I believe these low doses of vitamin D are a deliberate attempt to keep the American public needing more drugs until the day they die. But here’s the problem: Their report is pure propaganda. Institute of Medicine (or IOM), a powerful non-profit agency that advises the nation of matters of health. “High doses” like that can increase your risk for “harm” So go ahead and take 400 IU of it per day, if you want. You probably don’t need as much of it as we thought. The argument goes something like this… the vitamin D crisis isn’t as bad as we thought. You’ve probably heard about the bad rap vitamin D has been getting lately. Vitamin D Conspiracy Leads Straight to Big Pharma Spreen is fearful of sounding paranoid as he delivers his expose. Why are we so afraid of these bullies and their tripe? Perhaps some more vitamin D is in order… The synthetic one will, of course, be the next big panacea. Spreen points out that institutes like the IOM spread unfounded propaganda about a natural vitamin and our need for it: you’ve got plenty, don’t take too much! This makes room for the removal of said vitamin and the introduction of the patented, highly profitable synthetic version. The following article connects the dots in the recent “vitamins are bad” web of lies. Why do we listen to manufactured, trumped-up, faux-authorities on health? WHO, the AMA, countless front groups, and now the self-proclaimed Institute of Medicine? Do you notice the trend in vitamin bashing? The bent towards programming Americans into thinking vitamins are toxic or unnecessary to our well-being should scare us more than the possibility of taking too many.
