The Life Insurance Market
|
Government advisers have suggested that vitamin D be added to milk in order to make Britain healthier and stave off the need to claim on sickness insurance.
The vitamin, which is usually available from the sun, helps to strengthen bones whilst also decreasing the chances of getting heart disease and cancer.
However, due to the lack of sun in this country, many people lack the vitamin. In England, by the end of winter half the population is running low on vitamin D; in Scotland, this figure is two-thirds.
There are fears that adding the vitamin to milk will take away the consumer's right to choose, so there are no guarantees that the practice will take place. If this is indeed the case, the need for sickness insurance becomes more acute.
