Kennedy, however, cited a previous review by the federal government’s National Toxicology Program, which concluded that “higher levels” of fluoride was linked to lowered IQ in children. Those levels exceeded what’s recommended in water systems.

“They have not been completely well studied, but they are alarming enough that we shouldn’t be demanding that parents accept something for their children and in their homes, that is essentially a medication,” said Kennedy.

I asked AI, “Can I get vitamin D through a closed window?
Reply:
No, it is not possible to get vitamin D through a window?”
To get vitamin D from sunlight, it is recommended to spend 10-15 minutes outdoors each day, between the hours of 10am and 4pm, with exposed skin. [Use protection if outdoors for extended time.]
Vitamin D is produced in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun. However, glass blocks most UVB rays, so sitting in front of a window will not provide sufficient UVB exposure to produce vitamin D.
I asked, “WHAT is the best natural method of producing vitamin D on a sunny cold day?
Reply:
To naturally produce vitamin D on a sunny, cold day, the key is to spend time outdoors in direct sunlight, even if it’s chilly. Here are some tips for maximizing your vitamin D production:
Expose Skin to Sunlight: The UVB rays needed for vitamin D synthesis can still penetrate the skin on cold, sunny days. Aim to expose your face, arms, or legs to the sun for about 10-30 minutes, depending on your skin type, location, and the intensity of the sunlight. Fairer skin generally needs less time, while darker skin may require more.
Midday Sun: The sun is strongest around midday, typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Try to be outside during these hours to maximize UVB exposure, even in cold weather.
No Sunscreen for Short Exposure: If you’re outside for 10-30 minutes (depending on your skin), you can forgo sunscreen to allow your skin to absorb the UVB rays. For longer exposure, sunscreen is essential to prevent skin damage.
Wear Light Clothing: Wearing light clothing on parts of your body (like your arms or legs) will allow for maximum sun exposure. Even in cold weather, it’s important to expose enough skin for vitamin D production.
Fresh Air: Even if it’s cold, ensure you’re breathing fresh air to improve overall health, which in turn supports your body’s ability to synthesize vitamin D.
Remember, vitamin D production varies based on latitude, time of year, and skin type, so if you’re in a region with limited sunlight, you might need to consider vitamin D-rich foods or supplements.
Also remember that AI can (and often does) make mistakes.
