In this video, Dr. Reinhold Vieth presents evolutionary evidence demonstrating how a person’s skin color impacts vitamin D levels and health outcomes. His presentation clearly explains the history of the human species, our ability as a species to adapt and evolve to new environments, and how lighter skin is an example of such an adaptation to maintain our ability to survive and produce offspring.
Key points Dr. Vieth makes include:
1. Publications of the vitamin D levels amongst the African Maasai, herders living a traditional lifestyle near the equator, showed an average of 44 ng/ml
2. Additionally, their levels increased during pregnancy.
3. The Vitamin D Paradox: ‘African Americans Need Less Vitamin D and Calcium’ for bone health is challenged by asking a NEW Question: “What Fitness Benefit was there Favouring White Skin and LESS Bone than Blacks”
