>Putting the entire population on vitamin D supplements would be too expensive for the country’s national health service, he told me.

What? Have these people looked at what Vitamin D costs at the supermarket. If Vitamin D insufficiency has any significant detrimental effects, then 3 bucks of supplements a month surely are cheaper than dealing with the consequences.

If one hour of doctors time costs 200 bucks, then this is enough to pay for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS of Vitamin D supplements.

This seems like a completely insane statement.
