There are some at:http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/

"....I am quite well convinced from the Glasgow experience that 
catastrophic vitamin D deficiency can be largely be ameliorated by 
eating meat. Can "suboptimal" vitamin D deficiency relating to cancer 
and CVD also be optimised by eating meat? Supplementing just 100iu/d 
sorts out rickets but the same effect can be achieved with the 
occasional burger.

I can see that aiming for a middle to upper lab range is a reasonable 
hedging of bets. I'm not sure it is needed unless you come from a 
history of vegetarianism or persist in the consumption of whole meal 
flour, especially if coupled with near complete UV avoidance. Never 
forget that much of the data on vitamin D supplementation comes from a 
population crushed under the Food Pyramid or its derivatives, an eating 
plan which almost seems to have been designed to maximise disease. 
Vitamin D might well help under these situations, but what of those of 
us who eat Food?

It seems like humans can get away with vegetarianism in the tropics. 
Move north and you need to eat meat."
