question- do the people that live the longest have the highest vit D naturally?

Is low vit D a reflection of the illness rather than the intake?

I think we don't really know yet whether disease states give people low vitamin D3 or whether the low Vitamin D3 causes the disease in the first place.
I'm betting on the latter because even if disease states do lower D3 it's probably better to raise it anyway. |
