Interesting letter (20 May) from Dr Helga Rhein, mentioning that Finland has for some time fortified food with vitamin D, “so that the average Finn has double the vitamin D blood level of the average Scot”. In fact Finland, a country not famous for its sunshine, is the country in Europe with the fewest cases of Covid infection, at 1,636 cases per 100,000. Coincidence? Or is vitamin D too inexpensive to interest big pharma?
