NOTMILK VITAMIN D-3 CAN CAUSE DEATH BY OVERDOSE

 

 

Vitamin D-3 is used to kill rats!

Why is it added to milk

for our children to drink?

 

A reader of the NOTMILK column (Glen Livingstone) was

kind enough to send me a brochure produced by the

Ministry of Environment in Victoria, British Columbia,

Canada.

 

SAFE AND SENSIBLE PEST CONTROL

 

The brochure represents a series of " safe and

sensible "

pest control measures, according to the Canadian

Health

Minister.

 

Many methods of mice and rat control are discussed. I

prefer the most foolproof of methods: Don't let them

eat your food. Store all foods in refrigerators or

tamper-proof containers. With no food supply, mice and

rats go elsewhere to dine.

 

According to Canadian health officials, Vitamin D-3 is

the most effective and ecologically sound method of

dealing with rat and mouse infestation.

 

According to the brochure, products containing Vitamin

D-3 (calciferol) kill by vitamin overdose after 3-4

days. The Vitamin D-3 actually mobilizes excessive

amounts of calcium from an animal's bones.

 

And you thought that Vitamin D-3 helped to absorb

calcium. Another dairy industry myth!

 

Don't try this at home. When the animal dies within

your walls, its putrefying body will add the most

unpleasant bouquet to your environment. The offensive

smell may last for months.

 

How soon we forget! Children are taught in first

grade that Vitamin D is the " sunshine vitamin. "

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone and is synthesized in

one's body after skin is exposed to sunlight. Once

the body has made enough, it will produce no more. Too

much Vitamin D can be toxic and result in bone loss.

 

In 1963, the Journal Pediatrics revealed:

 

" Consuming as little as 45 micrograms of Vitamin D-3

in young children has resulted in signs of overdose. "

(one gallon of milk contains 1600 IU, or 40

micrograms). " (Pediatrics, 1963; 31)

 

A study published in the New England Journal of

Medicine revealed that of 42 milk samples, only 12%

were within the expected range of Vitamin D content.

Testing of 10 samples of infant formula revealed seven

with more that twice the Vitamin D content reported on

the label, one of which had more than four times the

label amount. Vitamin D is toxic in overdose for rats

and mice. (New England Journal of Medicine, 1992,

326)
