on 8/28/2009 I had a severe deficiency in Vit. D and am now on supplements every day. Not having enough vitamin D makes the body feel run down and awful, and yes, it did have a big negative impact on my teeth! If you are feeling run down and awful, it's a good idea to get blood work done. I had problems with Vit. D and C. and I would have never thought so, with the amounts of fruits and veggies I eat. Thanks for this article. Everyone should know what their body needs and why. :)
