RESEARCH OF THE WEEK
Preformed vitamin D, the kind found in eggs, fish, and meat, is about 5 times as bioactive as vitamin D3. This makes animal foods a rich source of vitamin D and may explain why human skin lightened after the adoption of agriculture—so they could replace the vitamin D they no longer got from hunted meat.
Deficiencies of carnitine (a nutrient found in meat) may explain some autism cases.
Some people may be overdoing vitamin D supplementation.
Given a prompt, airport visitors are more likely to walk than ride the people-mover.
Using alcohol to reduce executive control improves creative problem-solving (but not divergent thinking).
Reducing dietary advanced glycation endproducts has no effect on inflammation or cardiovascular health in overweight/obese adults.
Life purpose increases sleep quality.
