This mistake needs to be made as public as possible.

I live on the "WET COAST" where there is very little sunshine for 8 months of the year. Vitamin D can be an issue for people who live here and is linked to many serious health issues including depression, chronic pain, head aches, cognitive impairment, disturbed sleep and much more. If people are misinformed there could be serious health consequences. We want to trust the information Health Canada provides us so please make it trustworthy and look into this issue. Thanks for your time and consideration.

I have been taken Vitamin D for years and years I find that I don't get the cold and really feel good. I will say Vitamin D should be taken.

Canadians require more than US due to the months of lower sunlight and outdoor exposure. Not the opposite.

We need more than 1000IU, and this should be covered.
