This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Just to chime in, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common:
Study with source
Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to dementia and other bice diseases. I bet 15 minutes sunlight won't cut it and sunbathing gives you skin cancer in the long run, so get some supplements people!
Yeah, it is. And even moreso here in the Nordics.
I take a vitamin D supplement every day. Especially in the winter.
I quickly googled and a Finnish article says that during summertime, wearing just shorts, you can get your daily amount half an hour. But that's midsummer sun and midday.
But in countries where it's more intense...
Anyway, supplementation is definitely necessary for most people, especially during winter.
Swedish here, but I live in France.
Modern day people are often stuck inside (of the car, house, office) during daylight times.
Also, when you get a sunburn in 20 minutes you avoid the sun when you are outside...
So yeah, supplements FTW!
