Studies that show no evidence of a particular phenomenon tend not to get the same degree of publicity that studies showing something do – but it’s great that scientists are making the effort to determine if a particular correlation is a result of causation.

Regardless, it’s still not a bad idea to take Vitamin D supplements for other health benefits.
