I don’t know what you would get from squeezing him, does he have any money left?

Best source of Vitamin D is sunshine. It’s free and fun to get the full dose.

Diabetics do not drink any orange juice. It is never good for you. Eat oranges but never drink orange juice.

We drink raw milk which has all sorts of nutrition that otherwise gets pasteurized out, and needs to be added back in (like vitamin D). Udderly delicious. Link.

Vitamin D absorption needs some sort of fat, so OJ may not work.

Supplement-wise gelcaps are pretty good, the capsules with powder don’t work so well.

“Diabetics do not drink any orange juice. It is never good for you.”
I’m diabetic and I never heard that!

[mlizzy]

We also use this stuff Link. Very easy, not too expensive, and my kids will use it at college!

No, he’s still looking forthe “real killers”

I take a D3 pill with my peanut butter toast ever morning, plenty of fat, and believe it or not, I have been sleeping better!

course, it could be the new bourbon I have been drinking in the evening ;-)

Am I the only one who passes right by the Orange Juice with "calcium, vitamins, fluoride, added fiber and now with Lipitor!" to get the orange juice with just oranges?

If people want supplements to their diet they should just buy them instead of having people sneak them in as additives to various foods. What happens if your over-consumption of a certain food gives you an overdose of some added vitamins or minerals?

An 8 ounce glass of milk provides 30% of you daily requirements of calcium, 25% of you vitamin D and Phosphorus requirements, 10% of you vitamin A requirements, and 4% of your vitiman C requirements. Plus, it provides body-building protein.

Why the put vitamin D and calcium in OJ, I’ll never understand.

Don’t drink OJ. OJ will kill you.

The sun is the best source, if you can tolerate it.

[luckystarmom]

Can’t get it in the winter time in most of the country. Certainly not in N. California this past winter.

[FreeAtlanta]

It will make your head pop off.

[McGavin999]

Well come to Arizona, you can get it 364 1/2 days a year. If you don’t mind associating with a bunch of “racists” *wink*

[TheConservativeParty]

Me too. I drink it, and of course we with this medical challenge do. All within the carbohydrates we plan into our day. It’s a great way to raise a low blood sugar too (as you well know).

Hey does this peeve you a bit as it does myself,,,when I see that really fat guy, is it Walter Brimley(?) you know that old fat guy, on ads for a diabetic supply home delivery company? Now he’s a great guy I am sure, but to pick a morbidly obese guy as a spokesman and have him say “and be sure to check your blood sugar...” irks me. I say “Hey how ‘bout you lose a hundred pounds before you preach to me, Chubby?”. I don’t know it just bugs me.

Cheers!
