Wow, Zeph317, great story. I am black, therefore my daughter is black . Well, actually she is sort of an Asian yellow. I will never forget when she burned in the son during band camp. I did not think that as strange at all since she is rather pale but, I wonder if she would have burned at all if she had enough vitamin D. Her husband who is white, is quite pale ( blond haired and blue eyed ) and he burns easily. I am going to tell them both about your story. I have been getting my daughter to take vitamin D3 supplements but I don't think she takes enough. She had asthma and pneumonia within the past 4 months. I usually lurk on this thread and rarely comment but I am sooooo glad it is here.
