I've heard a lot in the news about the benefits of taking vitamin D, but can you tell me what foods have the highest amount of vitamin D in them?

The sun's rays are actually the best known source of vitamin D, but since many people live in such a way that getting natural vitamin D might be difficult, they may need to make sure they get it through foods and supplements.

Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D isn't that readily available in many foods. Some countries, like the United States and Canada, fortify some foods like milk, yogurt, and breakfast cereals with vitamin D. It does also occur naturally in many types of fish, such as salmon and cod liver oil is a good source. You can also get a small amount of vitamin D from whole eggs.
