1000 IU of vitamin D (per kg) can indeed be toxic – 1947

There were many studies in the 1940’s stating that

    1000 IU of vitamin D per kilogram of body weight was toxic.

The average weight of an adult was approximately 70 kg, so yes, I agree, 70,000 IU of vitamin D can be toxic.
I had often wondered why doctors had been told that 1,000 or 2,000 IU of vitamin D was toxic.
My guess is that the old message was trimmed to 1,000 IU of vitamin D is toxic,
Note in the clipping belows that even 35 X higher was sometimes not toxic.
