A side note but there was a study they did on rats which blocked all vit D3 absorption but I believe maintained all other nutrients, at 5 months old the rats biological age was nearing end of lifespan. The fantastic thing about such short lived yet complex mammals is that we can essentially view different effects on fast forward, if you assume it only lives for 2 years then 5 months is approx 20% of the lifespan.
