 ==== Europe ====
-In Europe, fortification with vitamin D varies. In some countries, the level of fortification can be quite low, at least in comparison to other developed countries. However, it's common practice, especially in Scandinavian countries to give children cod liver oil.  One Finnish study of children born in 1966 found that between 74 and 88% of their mothers reported giving them cod liver oil.(({{pubmed>long:15699498}}))
