Why Orange Juice and Breakfast Cereals Contain Slaughterhouse Byproducts

Did you realize that these foods can contain byproducts from the skins of cows
or pigs?…

  • Tropicana fortified orange juice
  • Fortified cereals like Cheerios, Kix, and Total 100%

Here's the lowdown. The USDA recommends 200-600 IU of Vitamin D per day depending on your age.  To be specific:

Birth to 50 years: 200 IU

51-70 years: 400 IU

71+ years 15 mcg: 600 IU

Few plant foods contain significant amounts of usable vitamin D.

This a huge concern because your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, and build and maintain strong bones.
