Filtered Geek

The FilteredGeek listens to a lot of podcasts, mostly about technology. One in particular, Security Now Hosted by Steve Gibson (grc.com) and Leo Laporte (twit.tv), is a podcast about computer security. Steve every week takes a interesting set of topics and discusses them in amazing detail and clarity. I would absolutely recommend listening to his podcast. (*Note: Security Now is a very techy podcast, unless you have a particular interest, his topics may be a bit above normal listening, but interesting none the less)

On security Now Episode 209 (First episode of the 5th year of the podcast, congratulations Steve and Leo!) Steve puts security topics aside for one episode and talks about his research into Vitamin D and let me say, his talk has really impacted me to take more Vitamin D since the FilteredGeek is a inside person :-). Now I will say that Steve, Leo, or I are not doctors so if you want to make any drastic life changes to your diet I would suggest talking to a doctor, but Steve makes a great case as to why you should consider taking at least a supplement of vitamin D, so much so, minutes after listening to his podcast I placed a order for some supplement tablets from iherb.com. (This particular type, Vitamin D3 5000IU taken once every 3 days, same type as Steve recommends)

I trust Steve since I know of the work he does in the industry (The man coined the term "Spyware"), and fully trust his research abilities. I would suggest at least reading his research on his site, he really did leave no stone unturned for this.
