Today’s Question: Vitamin D maintains normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorous, and you can get it naturally from the sun. But do you get all of the vitamin D you need from the sun?

Answer to Yesterday’s Question: Butter or margarine – what’s on your dinner table? Calorie and fat-wise, they’re about the same (both have about 100 calories and 12 grams of fat per tablespoon). But margarine is made from a liquid oil that is turned into a solid through hydrogenation, which adds unhealthy trans fats and increases the risk of heart disease. So, butter your bread and ditch the trans fats in the margarine aisle. A little bit of the real thing is better than the fake stuff.
