While (I think) I agree with you on the facts here, I don't think this type of dismissive comments are that useful either.

Can you give the replyee some pointers, for example? Link to articles or studies that show a different view?

Just Google it. There's tons of research on this so I don't know why I need to provide a specific link when this is common knowledge.

But also here is something to think about: your body will produce more D3 than that by being in the sun for just several minutes. So if you consider such a low dose of D3 an overdose then you better steer clear of the sun!

    This is another superficial statement, that displays shallow-at-best understanding. Staying in the sun and producing via the skin, and intake via food are 2 separate pathways. You cannot just make wild assumptions about one of those pathways from stuff you know about the other pathway.

    And actually: Yes, you shouldn't stay in the sun for too long without proper protection. Having the sun shine on your skin is not some inherently healthy thing. It too comes with acceptable dosage and overdose. Symptoms of overdose are commonly known as getting a sunburn.
