In the last twenty years, the international scientific literature paid particular attention to vitamin D deficiency. Many pathological conditions, like allergy, asthma, cancers, autoimmune, cardiovascular and infectious diseases were attributed to vitamin D deficiency. Could a single deficit be re-sponsible for such a lot of different illnesses? Probably, it could not. The mistake lies in the interpretation of vitamin D suggested serum level cut-off. Vitamin D Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 20 ng/dl, which is the estimated need for people at the upper limit of the Gaussian distri-bution, was considered like a cut-off. Instead, almost the entire population (97.5%) shows vitamin D needs inferior to 20 ng/ml. This way, a screening based on a wrong cut-off can lead to a useless over-supplementation.
