  How did you arrive at your conclusion?By the figment of your imagination or lab. tests?Every black skin on the planet produces vitamin D on exposure to sunlight whether they live in a temperate or tropical climate.Regardless of where you live,you still need Omega 3 fatty acids for good brain and heart health.You should also note that Omega 3 fatty acids perform different functions in the body than vitamin D.

  Our cultural practices in Ghana do not allow autopsy of our deceased in order to ascertain the causes of death.When many deaths are attributed to juju men and witchcraft,one should be mindful of drawing such untested conclusions.

  I agree w/my brother, classmate and friend Lord Tennison of UK. Fish and vitamin D is equally good for men too. Yes we get vit. D from the sun. For that reason our fisherman at Teshie Akroh hardly get heart challenges.

  AS WE ARE AGING, WE TEND TO LOOSE OUR HORMONES, SO CHECKING THE HORMONES IS A MUST, ESPECIALLY OUR PROGESTERONE LEVELS, AS THEY ARE THE CAUSE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURES IF WE ARE DEFICIENT.
