That doesn't matter. Eskimos eat fish livers, which are the main
commercial source of vitamin D3. In effect, they were using dietary
supplements that included vitamin D and omega 3.

Let's use a little common sense here. Eskimos must have evolved to adapt

I've given you evidence. If I'd presented evidence this compelling that
alcohol, sugar, or fat caused calcium loss, you'd modify your diet. Why
should protein be any different?
