I have been drinking everyday since lockdown with the obligatory weight gain I decided to partake in sardines and salad for lunch. I was under the impression I would  be getting about 20g of protein and some vitamin D from a tin.

Ordinarily I prefer fresh fish but fresh sardines are a little harder to come by in Chatham. Am I losing much with the tinned sardines presumably in some sort of preservative?

One farmed salmon fillet will give 50% of rdi

One wild salmon fillet will give 100% of rdi

One small tin of herring or sardines will give 25% of rdi

One egg yolk will give 5% of rdi

fortified cereal will give 15% of rdi

tin of tuna will give 33% of rdi (contains methylmercury)so no more than two tins per week

mushrooms and spreads have trace amounts but contain D2 and not D3 which have been found to be not as effective .

Skin exposed to sunlight makes vitamin D from Cholesterol in the cells . Make up your own minds for exposure (too many variables)

Check the packaging of items you buy . They should tell the you percentage of recommended daily intake (RDI) in a serving or by weight .

The above percentages are rough estimates .

Hope you all keep well

you having a laugh wk

Been down to The Neptune many a time. I also think you might be a little confused just because I mix with blackguards, thieves and sons of ****s does not mean I am without poshicity. I wouldn't ashley say Whitstable is posh. Most of North Kent is rough and ready. I visit the Oyster House from time to time. I tried to pay with my Oyster Card once and broke down in fits of laughter when the waitress just looked at me blankly. It was reminiscent of pre covid times when the chinese waiter brought the food and said duck. We would all duck under the table and laugh uncontrollably.

I prefer to go out round Maidstone to traditonal ye olde English pubs on the Pilgrims Way. Good beer, good food, good times. I wouldn't dream of taking Mrs 'Death to pubs in Medway. She wouldn't get out of the car. She thinks pubs in Portobello Road are rough.

Entire subject is not as simple as it sounds, rather the opposite, as for Rdi, it's a one size fits all measurement, not sure it does fit ALL.If it was as simple as just taking D3 there would not be a problem but clearly it's not that simple and appears there is little understanding of the complexities surrounding the subject. 

As for farmed Salmon, again next to zero understanding of the actual diff in what a wild fish eats to gain its high vit levels and what a farmed fish is fed and the diff this makes. Its a subject steeped in propaganda due to farmed fish being fake, destroying the environment they are kept in and the end product being a very cheap imitation of the real thing. As for vit levels of farmed fish,doubt they can supply the required levels, they can supply plenty pcb and other toxic chemicals.

As for quoting wild Pacific, it's anything but, it's part farmed, ranched is the term and again been through a "feed lot" process.

Recently due to covid-19 the Scottish gov has allowed salmon farmers (mostly Norwegian company's) to use as they see fit  the toxic  chemicals that everyone has campaigned so hard to have restricted , the once pristine waters are a chemical soup, it's a disaster, disease and pests are killing the wild form of the fish the farms imitate, its fake fish and cannot be seriously consumed regularly by any self respecting person.

The people talking about D2 are more on the money imo, it can't be good shorting the bodies  process, similar to diabetes, too much sugar via mouth  and the body loses ability to regulate, could Vit D be same? Would be looking to complement and   maximise bodies ability to create the required levels naturally  rather than contstantly supplement with high levels of D3. MOO.
The truth is out thar.

the scientists from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation Trust and the University of East Anglia write in their study: 'We believe, that we can advise Vitamin D supplementation to protect against SARS-CoV2 infection.'

This finding backs up a separate study which also found vitamin D may improve a person's chance of recovery after contracting the coronavirus.

A ten-week trial from the University of Granada is currently ongoing after a recent study by Trinity College Dublin found adults who took Vitamin D supplements saw a 50 per cent fall in chest infections.
