An article states that most of the population is Vitamin D deficient. It goes on to say that most people are not getting enough sun, cannot get enough Vitamin D from diet, and are at risk for many things not generally seen as related. There was a study in Finland tying Vitamin D deficiency to Type 1 diabetes. MS is mentioned as an autoimmune disorder linked to Vitamin D deficiency.
The article also talks about Vitamin D toxicity, which can't happen through sun and diet, but definitely through supplements. The doctors did not feel that toxicity could be reached very easily.
Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness and weight loss, as well as dangerous amounts of calcium that can result in kidney stones, confusion and abnormal heart rhythms.
