Confusion over vitamin D

Research by Yakult Light reveals one in four people mistakenly believe they will get their recommended daily requirement of vitamin D by sitting next to a window on a sunny day.

The research also showed that despite vitamin D being one of the most talked about nutrients in recent months, over half (58%) were sill unaware of its role.

In addition, 54% don’t know where vitamin D can be found in the diet, foods such as some oily fish eggs, and even fortified foods and drinks.
