 Patients on the MP should verify that any dairy products they consume are free of supplemented vitamin D. Some processed dairy products are made from vitamin D-fortified milk, a fact which the manufacturers are not required to disclose on the label.  Patients on the MP should verify that any dairy products they consume are free of supplemented vitamin D.

-Dairy products containing fat can have a small amount of naturally-occurring vitamin D, which is stored in the fat. The amount of vitamin D in a product depends on the amount of fat in the product and how the animal from which the product was derived was raised. Most MP patients can eat foods with small amounts of animal fat without fear of a significant increase in 25-D. However, those MP patients trying to reduce 25-D to the therapeutic level should avoid all sources of vitamin D, including those that contain even small amounts of animal fat.

-However, cows' milk, even if it is not fortified with vitamin D, contains a small amount of vitamin D because vitamin D is naturally stored in the fat of mammals. That is why if MP patients do consume small amounts of milk, it should be low-fat or skim milk. MP patients should not be drinking glasses of milk, but using it in cooking or to add to breakfast oatmeal is acceptable.+However, cows' milk, even if it is not fortified with vitamin D, contains a small amount of vitamin D.
