The glow of phosphorus itself originates from oxidation of the white (but not red) phosphorusâ a process now termed chemiluminescence. Together with nitrogen, arsenic, and antimony, phosphorus is classified as a pnictogen. Phosphorus is essential for life. White phosphorus, called WP (slang term Willie Peter) is used in military applications as incendiary bombs, for smoke-screening as smoke pots and smoke bombs, and in tracer ammunition. 2  It is also a part of an obsolete M34 White Phosphorus US hand grenade.
Such failures are inevitable when there is a deficiency of essential nutrients, particularly vitamins D, C, and niacin. There is especially strong evidence for a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cavities. Dozens of studies were conducted in the 1930's and 1940's [16-27]. More than 90% of the studies concluded that supplementing children with vitamin D prevents cavities.
You see, one of the forms of vitamin D, i.e. vitamin D2 is broken down by the body into different substances. Some of these substances can be very harmful for the body. Vitamin D3 is broken down by the body into a substance called calcitrol, which actually has very important cancer fighting properties.
