Bunny Bread and Vitamin D

Easter will be here in a flash.  My friend, Donna, posted the following pic on FB as a start for Easter baking.  I think it is too cute and easy to pass up.

The pic is from Homesteading Sufficiency Survival.  Make the dough as usual and snip out the ears as pictured.  After baking, poke in little eye holes with a toothpick.  Easy and adorable.

I was doing some reading about supplements and came across the following regarding Vitamin D.  There seems to be a big push on getting enough Vitamin D and this may help in assessing your needs.

The amount of vitamin D you need each day depends on your age. Average daily recommended amounts from the Food and Nutrition Board (a national group of experts) for different ages are listed below in International Units (IU):

Life Stage	Recommended Amount
Birth to 12 months	400 IU
Children 1–13 years	600 IU
Teens 14–18 years	600 IU
Adults 19–70 years	600 IU
Adults 71 years and older	800 IU
Pregnant and breastfeeding women	600 IU

 
An international unit (IU) is an internationally accepted amount of a substance. This type of measure is used for the fat-soluble vitamins.

This chart converts IU's into mg.

Nutrient	Amount in 1 I.U.
Vitamin A	0.3 mcg
Beta-carotene	3.6 mcg
Vitamin D	0.025 mcg
Vitamin E	0.67 mg
