    This Doctor Says Vitamin D Supplements Are Useless

    His name is Dr. Robert Cywes and he's talking about D not as a vitamin but a hormone. His battle cry is this: "Low D is not a disease, it's an observation. Modern healthcare treats observations, not disease processes." @haidut, what is your take on this new voice?
