through your intestines and the intes-
tinal cells will sense the amount of
vitamin A in the blood. If you have
enough vitamin A in your blood,
your intestinal cells will not convert
the beta-carotene into vitamin A.
The beta-carotene or other
carotenoids will not be converted
into retinol, so the rate-limiting
mechanism is in the intestine. If you
take retinol, the preformed vitamin
A, like in cod liver oil (not whole-
body fish oil), you can easily reach
harmful or toxic levels of vitamin A.
Excessive vitamin A interferes with
the action of vitamin D. Don’t take
cod liver oil or supplements high in
retinol, the preformed vitamin A. You
can get all of vitamin A you need
from colorful fruits and vegetables.
Many supplements use beta-
carotene as their source of vitamin A
and this prevents the over-produc-
tion of retinol in your body.
So, there’s plenty of vitamin A in
your body for binding with vitamin
D. It is the vitamin D molecules that
are in short supply. When the two
vitamin A and vitamin D molecules
toxic amounts in this country.
Humans have a profound ability to
make all the preformed vitamin A
that they need from the carotenoids
found in colorful fruits and vegeta-
bles.
In fact, two molecules of vitamin A
can combine to weakly stimulate the
vitamin D receptor. This action of
the combined vitamin A molecules
blocks the desired strong interaction
of the vitamin D–vitamin A combo.
This, in essence, prevents the vitamin
D mechanism from working. I find
that the amounts of vitamin A con-
sumed by humans in the United
States are far greater than the vita-
min D consumed. We consume
much more vitamin A than experts
think is healthy, yet the government
doesn’t change its advice or take
steps to reduce vitamin A fortifica-
tion of food.
When you eat retinol—the pre-
formed vitamin A that is found in
foods such as eggs, liver, butter or
milk—it is like injecting vitamin A
directly into your vein. But, when
you eat beta-carotene, it must go
combine, they can activate the vita-
min D response element and the
gene becomes functional.
Passwater: Vitamin D functions by
interacting with many hundreds of
genes. Please explain to our readers
the impact of this.
Cannell: It is really important for
people to realize their genes control
virtually everything. From your ears
to your toes, everything depends on
a complicated series of biochemical
reactions that are occurring with the
help of enzymes. Well, those
enzymes are all activated by genes.
For me to have the ability to talk to
you now, it requires a functioning
genome and your genome cannot
function optimally unless you have
enough vitamin D. It is the key that
unlocks the hundreds of vitamin D-
dependent genes that are locked
away behind a vitamin D response
element. It is crucial to understand
that your genome is allowing you to
live day to day.
Passwater: How about individual
differences in vitamin D receptors,
