This is right from the Vitamin D Council website.... While the article is titled "New trial suggest Vitamin D improves quality of life markers in healthy women" when you go to the paper cited it shows that they were really looking for the cardiometabolical protective effects of Vitamin D which are seen in population with high sun exposure... and the study failed to show any. The Vitamin D Council summary of the article states the following in contrast to the headline  "Many observational studies have noted that people with more sun exposure have better cardiovascular health. This includes a more favorable lipid profile, lower blood pressure, and better insulin sensitivity.

Researchers Dr. Damien Marino of the University of La Plata wrote in their paper "85 percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and AMPA 62 percent, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and gauze the figure was one hundred percent" This is horrible news to say the least. Many of the items tested were labeled as sterilized and suitable for application on wounds which would give the glyphosate direct entry to the blood stream. In the case of tampons, the exposure would be even greater. Compounded by the...
