Both the report and the study acknowledge that sun exposure is the primary source of natural vitamin D, and that because people avoid the sun, they aren\u2019t getting the natural D they need. \u201cComplicating the matter is that the girls in the study all lived in Finland or Denmark, two northern countries with very little sunlight in the winter. And even when it's sunny, the angle of the sun makes the light weaker. As a result, some researchers say it's not clear whether the new finding applies to girls in the US,\u201d Reuters reported. But American studies \u2013 including a study of school-aged girls in Maine \u2013 have shown that American girls too aren\u2019t getting enough of the sunshine vitamin.
