Funnily enough, a friend of mine in Australia has recently been diagnosed with Vit D deficiency. It appears that is is happening more often to people in sunnier climes because of the wearing of strong sun creams. My mate plasters herself in sun block whenever she ventures out. The fear of skin cancer has, in many cases in Australia, prompted people to cover up or use sun block. This has led to an increase in Vit D deficiency.
The recommendation is now bare arms and face for 10-15 mins per day with no sun cream, I believe.
I also think that MR is right about the food. I'm bloody sure it's not as nutritious, some of it certainly tastes different.....
