Canada’s CTV Television Network ran a report Thursday acknowledging that most Canadians are vitamin D deficient and that getting some sunshine is the best way to replenish vitamin D stores.

“With sunny skies and rising temperatures in the forecast for Saskatchewan, it’s the perfect opportunity to replenish our stores of vitamin D. And after a long, cold winter, the experts say that most of us – especially children – are likely lacking in the so-called ‘sunshine vitamin,’” CTV’s Saskatoon station reported, noting that “Time spent outside in the sun is important for everyone, especially kids.”

The story discussed a new University of Saskatchewan study geared at preventing Vitamin D deficiency. The story acknowledged clearly that vitamin D comes most abundantly and most naturally from sun exposure, and that Canadians don’t get enough.

What’s more, researchers are looking for subjects for the study. In particular, they’re looking for healthy children, with no underlying health conditions between the ages of 18 months and five years.
