- lkbm 6y agoHere's the past year, by date: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=false&query=Vitamin%20D&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal... Something about it is on the front page every month or two. Honestly, I'm fine with it. I think more people need to know they should be supplementing with vitamin D. It's possible it doesn't help with COVID-19, but the evidence is enough and the risk of harm low enough that it's clearly a rational decision to supplement at this point.
- SloopJon 6y agoI don't know that I'd call it a "strange obsession," but it's a popular topic, right up there with intermittent fasting. Here are some active posts just from the last two or three months: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25289921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25289921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25261441 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25261441 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25113595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25113595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25077519 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25077519 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24912172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24912172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24768721 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24768721 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24734774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24734774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24607645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24607645
- voisin 6y agoThree of those are links I posted so maybe it is just my strange obsession! Like many others have commented, I am baffled why this is not being reported broadly and pushed as part of a low-cost, apparently no downside public health agenda, particularly leading into the darker winter months.
