But this is a perfect example of people thinking they are smarter than doctors because they used some Google-Fu. In Alberta family doctors need 150 hours of continuing education every 3 years. They also do not just go with what the newest study says. You need multiple studies for things to change. Which makes a lot of sense from a patient safety perspective.

Says 600 IUs per day. Why is it taking so long for the government to update that even though most people tested are deficient? Especially in Canada.
Its not about thinking the general human is smarter. In this day and age we can quickly get access to peer reviewed research for just about anything, and people tend to use that to update what we know about many things before it becomes officially recognized by a governing body.
