But Vitamin D is cheap and easy to use. Where's the graft in that?

The fact that you're paying ANYTHING for it in the first place is the graft.

Its basically like sticking cooking oil in a ferrari. Its an oil. It will lubricate your engine, but so NOT going to do the job as its needed and it will stuff your engine!

Sure the supplement is a lipid, it will go everywhere that a lipid can. Even places its not supposed to- bit like the LNP's in the C19 shots.๐Ÿคจ

The vit D from the sun- goes specifically to VitD receptors, in specific zones, after its been made in a unique format, at specific circadian times.

Anyone who says Vit D supps are legit as good as- is stupid or grifting.

Some of us live in places where it is impossible to absorb any UV light from the sun for at least six months of the year. Yes I eat oily fish etc. but I absolutely need supplements because I am not genetically adapted to live at such a high latitude.

Unless you live underground, that's not true. Especially in the cold regions (above the 54th parallel).

You literally have an inbuilt system in your body specifically evolved to allow you to absorb MORE ultra violet light, and retain it for longer, the leptinmelanocortin pathway, activated by pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).

In other words it makes you more sensitive to making your own vitamin d internally.๐Ÿค”

But if you ingest vitD supps, you tell your body not to make it (because it likes to keep things balanced) and then that signals your body to downregulate your leptinmelanocortin pathway, meaning ultimately, the body may no longer be able to switch it back on in response to environmental sensors (mitochondria), after long term use.

Plus, just like HDL and LDL are simply markers for cholesterol being moved around your body, serum vitD levels are merely an indicator of how it is being transported. Not necessarily how much you have, or how well your body is using it, in the right places.

What the hell is the difference between grift and graft?

I'm not sure I know

I think I like this distintion. They overlap a little bit Graft seems to have a political bent. A Grifter is more like a Card Sharp.

Then again, Columbia School of Journalism pub. https://www.cjr.org/language_corner/grift-graft-etymology.php#:~:text=As%20M%2DW%20says%20in%20its,sense%20of%20the%20word%20graft.%E2%80%9D

An internal debate that has vexxed me for some months now. Still no satisfactory answer to date. Grift is suggestive of confidence games, and graft evocative of bribery or corruption. I suspect the two are as inbred as the mountain folks of West Virginia, though. Hard to have one without the other.
