Where is "Henry Deacon" ?
I have some questions regarding his Vitamin D3 claims.

(Taking one type of D Vitamin over another is not good either.
It throws the body chemistry off balance.)

Summary: Sunlight good. Supplements bad.

Aren't you thinking of Vitamin B? I've read that lack of sunlight leads to Vitamin B deficiency.

I live in the Northeast and our winters are usually bleak. I tend to get moodier in the winter so I try to increase my intake of Vitamin B and it usually works because I feel more alert and less depressed.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I fail to see what's wrong with taking a multivitamin. Some of us have not figured out how to create a healthy diet and as much as I hate to make excuses, it would be difficult for me to do so until I am able to modify my schedule.
