A little while back, there was this submission to hacker news that didn't get much traction/attention, but which was about a research study that seemed to suggest that Vitamin D deficiency was a symptom of an underlying problem and just supplementing with Vitamin D was not sufficient as a fix and that the underlying cause of the deficiency the study said could be inflammation related to bacterial infection.

- delbel 8y agoI didn't know about this study or the post, but I have also brought this up before and downvoted to hell. Bacteria that can evade the immune system can eat up all your vitamin D and wreck havoc. The solution is to eat other beneficial bacteria that eat them or their food and balance things out. This bacteria is LAB pro-biotics you can find in the store. Along with that, eating fiber to feed the pro-biotics so they don't die off. But if you eat health organic food, you get all of this. There's a GMO bacteria used as a pesticide that might be causing this. Anyway, if you bring these things up you are called a conspiracy theorist on this site. Its just common sense. Eat good non-GMO and non-gmo bacteria treated food with fiber, stay away from junk food, take pro-biotics, get sunlight.
- jseliger 8y agoThis comment is interesting but I downvoted it for one reason: "Citation(s) needed."
- delbel 8y agoif you were a professional or academic scholar requesting the citation, I feel that you would be entitled to that information. But to many people who aren't abuse this as some kind of sociopathic way of bullying people with contrarian information by downvoting, and I'm sick of it. It was a nice way to spark up a conversation a while ago but now its a toxic tool of sociopaths
- julianj 8y agoI have felt this for a long time but have lacked the ability to put this feeling into words. Thank you for doing what I could not.
- toasterlovin 8y agoFEIW, the need for supporting evidence for unusual positions, stances, opinions, etc. exists regardless of whether “Citation needed” is used in the manner you describe.
- lsc 8y agoHuh. I thought it was a nice way of saying "I don't believe you. But I would accept credible evidence." If not believing strangers on the internet who say strange things makes me a sociopath....
- mrob 8y ago>There's a GMO bacteria used as a pesticide If you're thinking of Bacillus thuringiensis, it's usually bred conventionally, because that allows it to be used as a pesticide for organic certified foods.
- jononor 8y agoWhich GMO bacteria?
- grok2 8y agoApparently Bacillus Thuringiensis is used to genetically modify some kinds of plants/seeds like corn/potato/cotton etc, so the plants become naturally resistant to certain insects/worms. But these insects/worms are also now slowly getting resistant to the bacteria (evolution). It doesn't seem like there is genetically modified bacteria itself that is used as pesticide....
