link on vitamin d

http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind.asp

great stuff from the NIH on vitamin D.

How much vitamin D can children safely take? Accorfing to this
document and the NIH, the answer is a whopping 1,000 I.U. for infants
0-12 months, and 2,000 I.U. for all people over 12 months!

I expect we will be seeing recommendations from AAP that kids should
get more vitamin D, to prevent later Multiple Sclerosis plus cancer.
