I've been hearing about "earthing" (walking on the ground with bare feet) a lot recently. There are all sorts of purported health benefits, and a lot of questionable "electric grounding" claims. I've mostly dismissed it as yet another pseudoscience fad, but this research makes me wonder if I've been too hasty.
