The issue just needs some basic common sense.Adding vitamins to food cost money and sunshine is free.
An increasingly rare commodity it seems these days.....

Re: The return of Rickets

This just doesn't apply to older children,babies and toddlers need some gentle sunshine too this being the age when rickets can begin.20 minutes on a summer afternoon with a paddling pool and little clothing several times over the season will be more than enough.

They were recently saying that pregnant women were not getting enough vitamin D and that short periods of arms and legs and head being uncovered to the sun, two or three times a week during the summer should be enough.

I personally don't sunbathe but when I am out in the sun, it is only for short 20 minute walks and I don't bother with sunscreen.If I was going to be out for longer I would consider it but apart from the late summer spurt this year I cannot think anyone was at risk of melanoma for not using sunscreen at every opportunity.

I don't think over use of antibiotics are to blame for rickets return or even TB's come back and copper door handles won't save us from either of them.
