    I like how your rebuttals both say that supplements are both not able to give you vitamin D but also simultaneously a risk of overdose.

    You do realize that you can be both chronically deficient of something while also acutely overdosing on it, right?

      Yeah, if you take like 15 pills on one day or something stupid like that.

      But unlike the risk of taking 15 vitamin d pills, literally all the potential of giving you skin cancer.

      This doesn’t mean you have to be stupid and never go outside at all because “oh my goodness it’s going to give me cancer”. It just means that installing UVB emitters in our fucking light bulbs is a bad idea, and if you have vitamin d deficiency you can take a pill every day.
