Dear Sir:

We thank Harris for her interest in our work. As we stated in our article (1), the reasons that our results on vitamin D supplements other than cod liver oil differed from those of Hyppönen et al (2) are not known. However, as we stated in our article, we have not ruled out the possible protective effect of vitamin D against type 1 diabetes at doses >10 µg/d, and we agree with Harris that this is a possible explanation.
