Marcy, while many people refer to sunlight as vitiman D, in reality, sunlight merely aids in the conversion of specific chemicals in the body into vitiman D. In fact, the only part of sunlight which aids in the conversion process is Ultra Violet light, specifically UVB light.

Rickets is caused by a lack of sunlight and foods containing vitamin D. Many children in the UK suffered from poor bone development, particularly because of air pollution and/or a poor diet, especially during the industrial revolution and into the first half of the 20th century.

Healthy kidneys are full of vitamin D receptors, and they are required to convert vitamin D into its active form.

Vitamin D is synthesised from Cholesterol - which the body can build up from scratch.
