Food Combining Diets

Q: Jen, is food combining worth it? Should I do this?

Of course not, Matt. There is absolutely no science to suggest that certain foods shouldn't be eaten together.

Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)

Q: What does the research say about vitamin D supplementation and infection risk?

While observational data shows low vitamin D correlates with worse COVID outcomes, randomized controlled trials have found no major difference in health-related outcomes with supplementation, highlighting the need for more controlled studies.

Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)

Q: What is the relationship between vitamin D and depression?

Observational studies suggest a correlation between higher vitamin D levels and lower depression symptoms, but randomized controlled trials do not support the idea that vitamin D supplementation cures depression.
