Mistake #1: Forcing all of the products to be fortified - encouraging rather than forcing is far batter

Mistake #2: Fortification independent of fat content (bioavailability of D from low-fat milk is about 2.5X less )

Mistake #3: Failed to fortify for people who do not consume milk products (44% or people are lactose intolerant)
