inasmuch as d,d,d natural can now be produced synthetically,
and most of the d-alpha is produced semisynthetically.

This opinionated tirade proves nothing about science, medicine, or the
politics of scientists or medical professionals.


I said, and still say, that there is no coherent "political agenda" among
medical professionals and scientists. There are hardly any political ideas
we agree on. There is certainly no illuminati-like controling organization.

Oh? For free? Or are you another greedy altie quack who's anti-science
political agenda is designed to scare people away from their doctors and
toward your pseudonatural for-profit products?

Oh, so according to you quoting directly from:

contistutes an opinionated tirade?

No! You are presenting the opinionated tirade.

I simply quoted from an Academic Journal.

So you think that academic journals never publish opinionated, biased
articles? Doesn't that undermine your contention that, "scientists
intentionally distort their findings..."? Besides, the article you are
quoting here was published under the title "Commentary" and presented as the
opinion of the author. It was never intended to represent researched
data-based fact as would appear in the body of an academic journal.

prevention.

I'll rate your pathetic attempt to save face a C-.

And your feeble attempt at diversion gets a failing grade. The fact remains
that the article in question is a biased anti-science tirade, and that you
have presented nothing factual in support of your contention that scientists
distort their research in order to further some common political goal. See
if you can find anything solid. Present not just vague accusations, but an
example of a study that was cooked and the evidence that the errant
researcher was influenced by a conspiracy to "extract as much money as
possible from both patients and their health insurance."

So then, it is the political agenda of the federal government (supplying the
great bulk of the research money) to suppress research favoring vitamin
supplements in favor of promoting the sale of statin drugs? Why? Besides, it
is not Mr. Gohde's contention that vitamin researchers do not get funded,
but that they cheat when reporting their results.

You surely know more than a few scientists at Purdue. Ask them if they are
willing to cook their data or adjust their conclusions to meet a common
political agenda.

To a certain extent it depends on the particular vitamin.

But, in general the issue of natural versus synthetic is so passe as
to be almost laughable.

....that do not support your thesis.

Yes run away to your private sandbox. Come back to the real world when
you've learned enough about how it operates to engage in intelligent debate.
