I completely agree. Research on vitamin D has shown it to be low in population studies, even for those in sunny climates. Low vitamin D does more than decrease bone strength, it also impairs immune function. Low levels have been associated with higher rates of autoimmune conditions, the common cold, and cancer. I am so glad to see physicians taking this seriously and checking vitamin D levels. I work at Metametrix Clinical Laboratory in Atlanta and we are always trying to get the word out as to how important it is to check vitamin D. We even have an educational podcast on it: http://www.metametrixinstitute.org/post/2008/08/04/Shedding-a-Little-Sunlight-on-Vitamin-D.aspx
