The Activities committee proposed a win-
ning idea when they suggested a dinner
dance for the winter holiday social.
We have to start with the food. The entrée
section alone was unusually bursting with a
variety of scrumptious delights as you can
see from the picture below.
The appetizers and desserts tables also
presented a plentiful variety of tasty items.

room with

By Dr. Bob Baker
It’s been about a year and a half since my
first “Update on Vitamin D” was published
in the newsletter. I still get comments
periodically from members who have
benefited by starting a significant dose of
vitamin D. 2012 has been a busy year in
terms of vitamin D news but unfortunately
the media considers it “old news” and rarely
publicizes the new findings.
As you probably know by now, vitamin D
primarily comes from the action of the sun
on the skin. Just about everyone agrees that
human life began near the equator. So
vitamin D levels of early humans were very
high. Modern studies show that 50 to 100
nanogram (ng) levels were common, and
have been shown to have substantial benefit
on human health. It is impossible to get
enough vitamin D from diet. 4 glasses of
cow’s milk contain 400 units, and most of it
was added by the milk processor. A human
being going with insufficient vitamin D is
like an automobile being driven without oil.
This comparison helps explain why vitamin
D has a beneficial effect on so many

Speaking of prizes, the 50-50 winner
carted away $95! The runner-up won a

Sue and Tom thanked the many people

the folks who deserved recognition for
the success of the evening included the

There may have be more involved, but
those are the folks I know about. Certain-

this wonderful event happen and they
also contribute all year round to the vigor
of the Fantastic 50s group.

conditions found in humans.
What has been known for over a
century is the connection between
vitamin D and bone strength. Vitamin D
greatly increases the absorption of
calcium from our diet, and that calcium
helps maintain bone strength.
Osteoporosis has been a household word
for over 25 years, but the emphasis was
put on calcium supplements, and vitamin
D levels were not obtained. It was not
appreciated that vitamin D insufficiency
in Americans is widespread (80% are
insufficient).
Once the vitamin D level reaches at
least 40 ng. , calcium absorption from
simple foods such as fruits and
vegetables increases up to 90%. Studies
have shown at this level the parathyroid
glands in the neck stop producing excess
parathyroid hormone. This hormone is
the basic cause of the osteoporosis that is
so prevalent and is the primary cause of
broken bones as we age.
The big medical mistake of 1985 to
2005 was the recommendation that
humans need only 600 units of vitamin
D daily, an amount far too little, and an
amount that will not raise blood levels of
vitamin D more than 4 ng. The effect on
bones is by far the easiest beneficial
effect to demonstrate. I have seen a
number of people who have improved
their DEXA scan by 15% within 2 years
with 5000 units of vitamin D alone.
Numerous studies show the same thing.
My update of 2011 published in the
newsletter listed 4 broad categories of
diseases that benefit from vitamin D. For
each category, hundreds of studies prove
the benefit. In the year 2012, each month
has seen at least 5 major studies
published in medical publications
proving a beneficial effect on various
illnesses.
I have not seen even one newspaper
article reporting these many studies.
There was however one study that made
the news. . Someone studied the effect of
600 units of vitamin D on various
illnesses and found no effect. The bizarre
conclusion was that it’s not worth it to
take vitamin D. The truth is that many
studies had already shown the lack of
beneficial effect from such a small dose.
You have also probably heard of the
November 2010 study published by the
impressive sounding Institute of
Medicine that concluded we should take
600 units of vitamin D. They ignored
most of the vitamin D studies that had
been done over the past few decades and
then claimed insufficient proof. They
didn’t fool the scientists and physicians
at the Harvard School of Public Health,
who quickly published a complete
refutation of their report. The original
report made the front page of virtually
every major newspaper; the response
didn’t make any newspapers.
To read my Update on Vitamin D –
2011, Google Robert Baker MD Health
Newsletter and scroll to entry #18. Other
entries regarding vitamin D can be

On the December bird walk we were
treated to an unusually large number of
bird sightings. We were particularly
thrilled to encounter a couple of species
we hadn’t seen before, the American
Kestral and the Golden-crowned Kinglet.
Here’s part of what Wikipedia says
about the Kestral.
The American Kestrel (Falco
sparverius), sometimes colloquially
known as the Sparrow Hawk, is a small
falcon, and the only kestrel found in the
Americas. It is the most common falcon
in North America, and is found in a wide
variety of habitats. At 19–21 centimeters
(7–8 in) long, it is also the smallest
falcon in North America.
The American Kestrel hunts by
hovering in the air with rapid wing beats
or perching and scanning the ground for
prey (See photo.) Its diet typically
consists of grasshoppers, lizards, mice,
and other small birds. It nests in cavities
in trees, cliffs, buildings, and other
structures. The female lays three to seven
eggs, which both sexes help to incubate.
It is a common bird to be used in
falconry, especially by beginners.
As to the kinglet, a tiny but apparently
fearless bird, Wikipedia has this to say.
The Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus
satrapa) is a very small songbird.
Adults are olive-gray on the upper
parts with white under parts, with thin
bills and short tails. They have white
wing bars, a black stripe through the
eyes and a yellow crown surrounded by
black. The adult male has an orange
patch in the middle of the yellow crown.
Their breeding habitat is coniferous
(evergreen) forests across Canada, the
northeastern and western United States,
Mexico and Central America. They nest
in a well-concealed hanging cup
suspended from a conifer branch.
These birds migrate to the United
States. Some birds are permanent
residents in coastal regions and in the
southern parts of their range. Northern
birds remain further north in winter than
the Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
They forage actively in trees or shrubs,
mainly eating insects, insect eggs and
spiders.
They give a series of high-pitched calls
on a single
note, and
tend not to
fear human
approach.
December bird walk finds some interesting species
The American Kestral we saw (pictured above) seemed a little puffed-up. I learned from one of
the bird walk leaders that in cold temperatures, bird will often expand like this to add
insulating air around their bodies. Photo by Den DiMarco
This little Kinglet moved
around often and quickly, so I
was happy to get any picture at
all! Photo by Den DiMarco

Every month at our social,
you will find three collection
areas:
A Paperback Exchange Trunk -Bring
up to three paperbacks and take home
three almost new paperbacks (always an
even exchange).
An Empty Ink Cartridge Bin—
Cartridges will be recycled at Staples for
needed office supplies.
A Used Costume Jewelry Box - Tony
W will recycle jewelry into unique art
crafts for 50-50 drawings.
So, dig into those piles of paperbacks,
office trash cans, and overstuffed
jewelry boxes and jump on the Fan 50’s
“recycling wagon!” Our recycling
resolution is a “win-win.” You will find
a place for those items you just can’t
throw away, and help the group reduce
expenses.
