    Low DHEA-S Predicts Fractures In Older Men

    There is a big push to start treating older men with estrogen, just as women are, because estrogen is "good for the bone". No evidence exists to support this approach and in fact multiple studies in women have shown that low DHEA, and not estrogen, is what is associated with weak bones. In...

    Changes In Thiamine Levels May Be The First Sign Of Type I Diabetes

    The study is focusing on the fashionable topic of "microbiome analysis", which is most likely a fad that won't lead to any breakthrough cures. However, the important finding of the study is that changes of vitamin B1 (thiamine) levels are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Sudden drop in...

    Majority Of Cancer Patients Have Vitamin B1 (thiamine) Deficiency

    This is a great study since it directly highlights the metabolic connection between excess lactic acid and cancer. Thiamine deficiency results in lactic acid buildup, and all cancer patients have excess lactic acid due to the Warburg effect. foodconsumer.org - Cancer patients may need thiamine...

    Magnesium Deficiency, A Brief Review

    Beliebers, This review was written in a weird manner because I guess the guy had more freedom than what we would expect from a researcher in a published review. Nevertheless, I’m sharing because it has some interesting points that can direct people here to look for those subjects in more depth...

    Vitamin D Is As Bad In Excess As It Is In Deficiency

    The study said that vitamin D levels above 100nmol/L were associated with higher risk from CVD and stroke. I don't have access to the study so I don't know what the mortality was from in the low ranges. Presumably, the higher than optimal vitamin D levels probably caused arterial calcification...

    ADHD may be simply a vitamin B6 deficiency symptom

    The study claims that multi-year adminstration of vitamin B6 completely "normalized" ADHD symptoms. It was a human study, so it should have even more weight / relevance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24321736 "...The disturbed activity of PLP dependent enzymes apparently forms those...

    Iron Not Only Bad In Excess, But Also Bad In Deficiency?

    I'd like to start a discussion on: The question if iron deficiency is as bad as iron excess. The connection between thyroid dysfunction and iron deficiency. Determining the optimal intake of iron (i.e. how much mg iron/day, optimal ferritin/transferrin saturation values? Intake by symptoms?)...
