Chiron...vegans, vitamin D & cholesterol

I THINK that you posted a query as to vegetarianism & vitamin D but I'll be danged if I can find it now...anyway, I just came across some REALLY intriguing info...I was reading about cholesterol...

this is from "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill" by Udo Erasmus...

"Cholesterol is essential for our health, but we do not need to obtain it from foods. Our body can manufacture it from simpler substances(2-carbon acetates) which it derives from the breakdown of sugars, fats, and even proteins, especially when our total intake of these foods supplies us with calories in excess of our bodies requirement..."

(you might be wondering what the heck cholestrol has to do with this... :)

"...Our body makes Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin that regulates calcium and phosphorous metabolism, from CHOLESTEROL!"(emphasis mine)

So...no worries! Vitamin D can be manufactured by our bodies from the cholesterol that our bodies make! Cool, hmmm? Aaaah, the body is wise...
