Guardian -One of Britain’s leading scientists has urged people to take vitamin D supplements, particularly children, who spend an hour less outside than they did 10 years ago. The geneticist Steve Jones told the Hay literary festival in Wales the health case for taking them was now overwhelming. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements, I always thought it was absolute nonsense, it’s homeopathy. I now take vitamin D every day,” he said.

The observations about the diets of extremely healthy people who eat traditional non industrial foods, made in the 1930s by Westin A. Price, found that the traditional diets of the groups he studied ate foods with a great deal of vitamin A and D in a 2-1 ratio, and they consumed A and D in much greater quantities then is recommended today.
Using that as a guide I've been taking A and D for about 6 years, now in my mid 50s I still don't need glasses. I did stop taking A and D for a few weeks and my vision started to diminish. I returned to taking A and D and within a week my vision improved back to where it had been while taking A and D before.
