Canada 3, IOM 1

 The controversy regarding the IOM's recent RDA for vitamin D isn't going to go away any time soon, not when our neighbors to the north plan to ignore it.  The Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Pediatrics Society, and Osteoporosis Canada have all come out against the absurdly low recommendations.  Instead, all 3 are united in pushing for high doses of vitamin D (anywhere from 800-2,000IU daily) to ward off chronic disease, including cancer.  It will be interesting to see if anyone else takes on the IOM.
