Study Finds Link between Low Vitamin D Levels and Increased Risk of COVID-19 Hospitalization
In a new analysis of data from the UK Biobank, vitamin D deficiency was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization but showed only a weak association with infection risk.
Monroy-Iglesias et al. performed a nested…

Maggots may have been on the Neandertal menu
The original paleo diet might have included fewer succulent steaks and more juicy maggots.
Neandertals are often depicted at the top of the food chain for their time, consuming as much meat as lions or hyenas. But maggots growing on…
