When i said "immigrants to Canada from a certain country" I didn't think about the Muslim momen wearing burquas so that they are entirely covered and probably have a severe vitamin D defifiency unless they take a supplement.
I am elderly and I am living in a country that has only a small amout of weak sunshine in the winter. Therefore I am at risk of a deficiency! I better gobble some vitamin D pills each winter. It is too late for the crippled people.
A very intuitive comment. My father's side was from Austria and they wound up here because of war. My mother's side was Sweden and they wound up here because of crop failures.
