7 Foods That May Lower Vitamin D Levels in the Body

Processed Foods: High in trans fats and artificial additives, processed foods can interfere with vitamin D absorption and metabolism.

Sugary Drinks: Excess sugar can inhibit the body's ability to metabolize vitamin D effectively.

High-Phytate Foods: Foods like raw nuts, seeds, and whole grains contain phytates, which can bind to vitamin D and reduce its absorption.

Alcohol: Regular or excessive alcohol consumption impairs liver function, which is essential for converting vitamin D into its active form.

Caffeinated Beverages: Overconsumption of coffee or tea may reduce calcium levels, indirectly affecting vitamin D levels, as the two work closely together.

High-Oxalate Foods: Spinach, beets, and rhubarb contain oxalates that can block vitamin D absorption and calcium utilization.

Fried Foods: The high-fat content and trans fats in fried foods can disrupt the metabolism of vitamin D in the liver.
