Most people really are low in vitamin D. The reasons have nothing to do with moral failure or weak willpower. The “right amount” depends on age, body fat, sun exposure, health status, and how broken your metabolism already is. Vitamin D can be helpful, boring, or harmful depending on how casually you treat it. As with most things in health, the danger lies not in deficiency or supplementation. The danger is oversimplification.

Vitamin D is technically a hormone, not a vitamin in the classic sense. Your body produces it when ultraviolet B light hits your skin, converting cholesterol into vitamin D3. That alone should tell you something important. This is not kale dust. This is a system that evolved when humans spent most of their time outdoors, half-naked by modern standards, not under fluorescent lights and SPF 50.
