\u201cWith 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 \u2013 especially children \u2013 are likely lacking in the so-called \u2018sunshine vitamin,\u2019\u201d CTV\u2019s Saskatoon station reported, noting that \u201cTime spent outside in the sun is important for everyone, especially kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
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\u2019t get enough.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
