Yesterday I got an interesting email from The Vitamin D Council reporting on a new study that measures the vitamin D levels of the Masai and Hadzabe of Africa. It seems there’s a good amount of epidemiology for vitamin D levels in people with various illness and disease; as well, there’s epidemiology for disease incidence [...]

This goes way back and is one of the themes that set me up strong for the Paleo / Primal journey right off. I didn’t even blog about it for months, because it seemed too obvious. I had to read up, and I had to think. And then I did my first post about it, [...]

First let’s review, because I haven’t posted on this in sometime. Newer readers are certainly welcome to check out my past many posts on VitD. Or, there’s three specific ones I did back on December 30, 2008 as part of a dozen posts in a day blitz. Here’s the announcement from the 29th, and here’s the [...]

For what reason I don’t know, but this January 2009 editorial by William Faloon of the Life Extension Foundation is making the rounds. Perhaps it just came available on the web. It’s a good read, particularly in light of the billions and trillions of dollars the thieves & thugs in DC are about to flush [...]

First, the good news. Yep, it’s vitamin D, again (thanks to Chris for the link). New study links vitamin D deficiency to cardiovascular disease and death Study finds inadequate levels of Vitamin D may significantly increase risk of stroke, heart disease and death For more than a year, the Intermountain Medical Center research team followed [...]
