What is the optimum dose of wild blueberries to eat at a meal?

At our latitude and with the limited amount of clear sky days, a Vitamin D supplement is definitely a good idea.

At our latitude and with the limited amount of clear sky days, a Vitamin D supplement is definitely a good idea.

An updated meta-analysis has shown that as population vitamin D levels go up, mortality appears to go down and stay down.

The safe dose of vitamin D supplementation to get most of the general population to the optimal level is 2,000 IU a day.

People who are overweight may want to take 3,000 IU daily, whereas those who are obese may need more. People over the age of 70 and those who may not get enough sun may need to take 3,500 IU a day to get their vitamin D levels into the target range.

Should you get your vitamin D level tested? Routine vitamin D testing isn’t recommended, because, in most people, levels are right where you want them with sufficient sun or supplementation. Remember that it is possible to take too much vitamin D, though, so only supplement what you need.

Is it necessary to take vitamin D supplements? Can’t we get enough vitamin D from the sun?

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a carcinogenic nitrosamine. It has not only been found in certain prescription drugs, but also in foods such as processed meat and beverages like beer. We know NDMA can transfer through the placenta, and this may explain the relationship between consumption of cured meat during pregnancy and the risk of childhood brain tumors. Indeed, hot dog consumption during pregnancy may increase childhood brain tumor risk by 33 percent, and sausage consumption may increase it by 44 percent. Bacon consumption may increase childhood brain tumor odds by 60 to 70 percent. But, it’s not just processed meat. Researchers have also found NDMA in poultry products. Half of a chicken breast contains 110 nanograms of NDMA, which is more than the FDA's acceptable daily intake limit of 96 nanograms per day. Raw poultry doesn’t have any NDMA; it’s created during the cooking process.

Additionally, dry-heat cooking of meat, like broiling or grilling, creates airborne NDMA, releasing this "very potent carcinogenic compound" into the air. Even if you’re only eating a salad in a charcoal grill restaurant, just being indoors where meat is cooked could pose a cancer risk.

Interestingly enough, one of the best-selling drugs in history, Zantac, was pulled from the market—a drug that brought in billions of dollars—because it contained a probable carcinogen that exceeded the acceptable daily limit, but there may be even more of the contaminant in a single serving of chicken. Why aren’t they pulling the poultry off the shelves, too?
