Actual article title: "Study Finds Another Condition That Vitamin D Pills Do Not Help"
Yup. It's critical that we learn how to escape click bait and find the actual events in play. Were this yet another Vit D doesn't help piece, I came in ready to call BS. Now, I must go read the piece for what it is.
I posted this because it had one very relevant statement (to me, since I am one of those who is being advised to take Vit D supplements) from the article:
"So, for the millions of Americans who take vitamin D supplements and the labs that do more than 10 million vitamin D tests each year, an editorial published along with the paper has some advice: Stop.
“Providers should stop screening for 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels or recommending vitamin D supplements and people should stop taking vitamin D supplements in order to prevent major diseases or extend life,” wrote Dr. Steven R. Cummings, a research scientist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, and Dr. Clifford Rosen, a senior scientist at the Maine Medical Research Institute. Dr. Rosen is an editor at The New England Journal of Medicine."

>The vitamin pills do not prevent bone fractures in most people or protect against many other diseases, adding to questions about medical guidance many now take for granted.
I've read aspects of that before. That's not click bait. Still, the topic of "Vit D AND bone fracture" will make a good query to PubMed on https://search.carrot2.org/
Edit: it got 192 very juicy hits

I predict that Cummings and Rosen are in for a rough ride for contradicting the theology around Vitamin D. There is a lot of money in testing for "deficiency" and selling supplementation, and this gets added to almost everything.
