Thank you for your article however there is one point which I disagree with.
Your inference that vitamin D could relate to increased breast feeding is I think and bad inference to make to mothers. There are so many benefits from breast feeding and so many negatives attached to formula that you just have to look at the third world (yes even if we have better water although that could be debated). What you will find is a bigger correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the use of sun block (particularly on children) and the common vitamin D deficiency past on from parent to child. Pre conception health of both parents is key.
