Bone health is not nothing, as I found in my own experience. The question I would ask is this: If a disease (such as MS) lowers Vitamin D in some fashion (rather than the other way around), does the resulting low level of Vitamin D make for weak bones? That is, shouldn't we be tested for our vitamin D status and treated for low D on the basis of bone health alone?
One thing is clear: all the Vitamin D hype in the past 10 years has brought forth a good deal of research on its value. Because D supplements are not profitable to drug companies, such research must be sponsored by government or non-profit entities. There is nothing like controversy to stimulate such research.
