According to this scientific research study at PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, the U.S. government should provide free 1,000 IU vitamin D pills to all adult U.S. citizens. This would eventually cost the U.S. Treasury about 1 billion dollars but save 16 to 25 billion dollars of future damage from just cancer alone: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17302200 Here are 8 more interesting studies or discussions that are related to the above mentioned scientific study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16886679 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12899536 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16904314 http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/97/3/161 http://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/p rescription-for-vitamin-d-and-calcium/ http://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/i mportance-of-sun-therapy-for-vitamin-d/ http://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/c an-sunshine-alone-provide-us-with-optimal-blood-levels-of-vitamin-d/ And finally, here are 2 PubMed articles that discuss the cardiovascular benefits of vitamin D: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18574092?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem 2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery _RA&linkpos=2&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16295817?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem 2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery _RA&linkpos=2&log$=relatedreviews&logdbfrom=pubmed

Well, you can lead a horse to water, but still can't force him/her to drink. The D3 pills are cheap enough. Even with free innoculations, some people refuse to take them, for reasons only they can support. Just my 2 cents.
