IOM panel recommends tripling vitamin D intake:Panel's conservative approach receives criticism

摘要

In November 2010, the Food and Nutrition Board of the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended that daily vitamin D consumption should be tripled from a level of 200 International Units (IU) to 600IU for most adults up to age 70. Although the new recommendation is welcome news for a large portion of the medical community, it still fails to meet the expectations of many who are calling for still higher recommended levels.
