Comment on Elevated blood lead concentrations and vitamin d deficiency in winter and summer in young urban children. by Ted Hutchinson

A possible explanation for the higher Lead uptake in black kids would be a lower consumption of Calcium. Calcium blocks lead absorption so if the black kids are drinking less milk eating less dairy or otherwise consuming less calcium than the Hispanic kids, this may explain the differences.
I really don’t accept this is a story about the evils of vitamin d, rather it is a reflection on the poor nutritional and environment of urban Afro-Americans and I suspect the same would be found in UK inner city situations. Adjusting the calcium intake of black kids to block the take up of environmental lead seems the way to go, not restricting sun exposure or reducing Vit d3 intake.
