There Oughta Be A Law!

I'm truly amused by the implications of how humans manufacture Vitamin D from sunlight with their skin, and how if they don't get enough Vitamin D, all kinds of evil shit can happen to them. Bear with me. I'm just playing around with the ideas I intuit when I reflect on this notion. I don't know what the truth is. Presently, I couldn't give a fuck because I got other fish to fry.

First of all, I still don't know if a Vitamin D deficiency is what's causing my arthritis and other bone related dis-comforts and dis-eases, but something is dissing my comfort and ease, and I'm determined to figure it out for myself because I'm the kind of fool who thinks he can do that.

Once I recklessly copped the information I filtered for in order to reach the possible conclusion that some of my aging problems didn't have to be here yet, I realized I might be neglecting some specific food my body needed to keep itself doing right for as long as it can suffering the least entropy possible. It's not exactly my theory. Some research into cancer is where the prevailing theory came from only last year in 2007, and the results are apparently just coming to light.

It's a bit shocking to me to realize that it's probably true that the people living further north than 40 degrees latitude do not get enough of the right kind of sunlight in the winter months to create Vitamin D through their skin. I reckon I though it might be more likely because they wore so many clothes to keep warm the ambient sunlight never reached their skin.

The totally disregardable and dubious theory I concocted on the flip of a coin is apparently not what the latest research is showing (as I interpret the info in the articles I read). What they appear to be saying is that there is still not enough UV rays that reach the surface of the Earth above certain latitudes in the winter months to make Vitamin D in these people's skin, even if they ran around bare-assed nakid with maximal exposure of their skin to whatever sunlight managed to reach them. All the big cities of the northeast, midwest, and northwest not withstanding. It's no wonder us Southerners tried our best to disassociate from these fish mongers. The genteel people of the South make enough Vitamin D through our skins to not have to eat all the fish in the ocean. My pappy was right all along! Those Damned Yankee Bastards are eating us outta house and home! They're slaughtering dolphins and whales because of their incredible ignorance.

With the question being with things as they are or could be: How many people just living life they best they know how would realize they MUST supplement their intake of Vitamin D or suffer severe consequences. According to this research, there are definite differences made in Vitamin D production by an interactive relationship between God (The Sun) and man, and the pigmentation of the skin. With the facticity of that being that the more pigmentation you got blocking this process, the more you gotta supplement the natural process with pills or fish oil. The point is that whether by an adequate supply of usable UV rays to exposed human skin or eating a plentiful supply of cold water fish, Vitamin D has to be there or a multiplicity of unnecessary reactions will certainly happen.

That's probably why a lotta older people in the United States and other affluent countries go to warm, sunny climates when they retire to alleviate the aches and pains ordinarily associated with old age. Do they go because they don't know they could avoid many of the aches and pains by supplementing their diet? That's the impression I'm getting from the news articles. There was a new one on Google News this morning. If this research is true, then it makes sense that they'd wanna get it out to people as soon as possible.

What's simple is easy. Take the pills. Eat the freaking fish. It takes more than your appetite can cope with when you get older. It's not gonna keep from getting old and dying like a dog in a ditch, it's just that it may not have to hurt so much. God, I hope not. I am such a baby about physical pain.

I'm really glad to find out I don't have to eat the ocean dry of fish to get the Vitamin D I need to stay as healthy as possible for the least effort. The fish market ain't been looking so good around here. If it turns out that the doses of Vitamin D I take are easy and cheap to manufacture and do just as much good as fish oil, then if enough people switch to the pill form to make sure they get enough, then the fish populations in the oceans may proliferate.

This may be a little over the top, but if people are eating more fish than they need to satisfy a physical craving that can't be fulfilled by eating more and more fish, and one pill a day to supplement what they do eat it'll ease their craving. If I remember right, and I'm admittedly biased toward this research theory, it states that people experience less of an appetite when this particular craving is satisfied, and they lose weight.

I wonder if the ballooning of America started when those pharmaceutical companies started preaching skin cancer to sell their wares? People started avoiding the Sun in droves, and when they did go out to play, they covered themselves with sun screen which literally blocks the production of Vitamin D in human skin. It's a plot I tell you! A communist plot. They've brain-washed us into acceptably murdering ourselves or at least suffering intolerable amounts of unnecessary pain. We gotta get those pharmaceutical companies out of and off the media. There oughta be a law! An amendment to the Bill of Rights to include the right to a sunburn. Damn skin cancer! Full steam ahead!
