Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
Study of only 200 people, but observation may result in a wider study with larger sample and better access to relevant data. As noted, it doesn't imply causality, only possible correlation at this time and, if proved, at least a contributing factor.
So remember stay out of the sun (even though you need vitamin D). Don’t eat meat (even though you need the vitamins and protien). Don’t eat eggs (even though they turn out to increase good cholesterol). And don’t drink alcohol even though you live longer if you do.
IMO Vitamin D is the all around super supplement.....
I take 5,000 IU’s of D3 a day.......
I appreciate you posting this information.

Vit D again. ping
Notice that they didn’t tell you how much you had to take to get to the effective blood concentration. One still has to guess.
A recent important note about Vitamin D.
While it has long been known that a small number of people are sensitive to as little as 3,000 IU/day Vitamin D supplements, it has recently been discovered that a different small group of people have some indeterminate factor that limits their level of serum Vitamin D.
That is, they take supplements, but it doesn’t make it to their blood, as it should.
Unfortunately, this is brand new research, so there are a lot of unanswered questions. But guaranteed, there will be more research on this oddity.
Until then, there is a common blood test for serum Vitamin D, and there are enough variables so that it would be good to find out if you have too little, enough, or too much. If you want to know, ask your doctor.
My grandparents were poor immigrants with 12 children. They all grew up healthy and lived to be old folks. Her secret? A tablespoon of cod liver oil (vitamin D) every day.
I started taking vitamin D last winter. Really helped out in those dark Wisconsin winter days.
I recently read a book on loan from a friend, “The 50 biggest medical lies”. Already returned the book, but that’s close to what the title was.
Anyway, it confirmed things I knew to be true about the food nazis, who want us to eat what is bad, and not eat what is good for us.
For instance, -butter is good-margarine is crap.
-eggs are a wonder food, full of Omegas etc.
-meat is good for you.
-alcohol in moderation is good.
-what docs call high cholesterol is not really
high and not really bad, medical industry
just wants to sell drugs to lower it.
-the meal they don’t want you to eat, is just
what your body needs to be healthy.
-TOFU is crap. Orientals use fermented soy as
a seasoning, not tofu as a main food source.
Tofu eaten as a main part of the diet can
cause hormonal problems in males, and besides
it looks like GOO and probably tastes like
it.
-Flouride is poison, it is a byproduct of
aluminum processing and needed to be used for
something, a study was funded to prove it
was good for something, and now it’s in
toothpaste and some water supplies.
It was written by an American doctor, who was tired of bucking the American system that pushes harmful drugs like the cholesterol drugs. He had many other docs who privately agreed with him but who would not publicly say things that contradicted the accepted medical opionions of the day.
We have many wonderful medical advantages here (pre-ObamaCare), however there are plenty of drugs out there that are worse than the thing they are treating.
Last time I was sick I had the german measles when I was 8.
