I'm a little skeptical when their blogroll consists only of a "miracle vitamin" site.

I understand why you might say that, on the surface it does look cheesy. But the "miracle vitamin" site is blog run by an optometrist and the article references a per-reviewed study.

"A recent study in the journal Archives of Ophthalmology concludes that high vitamin D intake reduces the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in women under 75 years of age."

Given the, uh, spelling commonalities (mistakes..) on both, I am going to guess both blogs might be the same person :)

No, the optometry site is my sister in-law's :P

Upvote for honesty at least.

Advertising Vitamin D as a "miracle vitamin" is sketchy behavior, as would calling wheat a "miracle grain."
