I know the source might not be the best (seems to come from the Paleo/Primal community). Found it an interesting read nonetheless:
Why I don’t take vitamin D supplements
The main argument being that oversupplementation of any nutrient/vitamin can desensitize the body in its capacity to generate its own.
I find the theory interesting because increasingly I see frequent eating and overeating as a stress for the body. Eating all day long requires the body to work at digesting food more frequently. The organs are kept busy defending against outside stressors (food) and trying to restore balance after the nutrient intake. There might not be much time left for the repair work to take place.
