  • I don't get that.

    In some parts of the world, such as East london where I does my learning, GPs just give out Vit D like sweets to every single person since almost their entire user base are:

    • Ethnic
    • Wear covering "modest" clothing
    • Don't get out much

    I can't quite work out if many of them are VitD deficient and it explains their assorted issues, or whether it's a convenient way to use the placebo effect on people that have social/cultural reasons to end up wanting to see the doctor a lot.
