Good riddance! I got tired of opening the sports section to find another story about how violent athletes are to their spouses, or how unfair high schools are to transgender women. It seemed like the writers were more concerned about sign

Hypercalcemia is extremely rare, and is linked to hyperparathyroidism. The association between hypercalcemia and vitamin D is vastly overstated. Our ancestors in Africa got hours of sun exposure, and synthesized tens of thousands of IUs da

This is the point that Robert Kennedy Jr has been making, very eloquently. Regardless of how heinous Putin may be, how nasty the Russian invasion has been, it was not unprovoked. The USA put missiles in Turkey in 1961, and the Soviets res

Actually it's possible that small amounts of added iodine can cause hashimoto's thyroiditis. A 20 year study in Denmark found that adding iodine to table salt led to more hypothyroidism: https://academic.oup.com&#x

The global distribution of many types of cancer is strongly related to latitude. The farther you are from the equator, the higher the rate of disease. The more sun you get, the less cancer. It's hard not to infer that sun exposure a

Bring back Glass-Stiegel. Bankers are like college students on Spring Break, going wild unless the police come in and break up the party. Banking needs to be boring and only slightly profitable, and strictly policed. As for whether bank C
