How You Photosynthesize (And Why a Vitamin D Supplement Is Not the Same)
by Daniel Brouse Did you know you photosynthesize? Most of the vitamin D in your body is created by exposure to sunlight. “During exposure to sunlight, the high-energy UV photons (290-315 nm) penetrate the epidermis and photolyze 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) to previtamin D3. Once formed, previtamin D3 undergoes a thermally induced isomerization to vitamin D3 […]
Good Gut Bacteria and Food Allergies
The rise in food allergies has nothing to do with GMOs. The increase number of people with fool allergies is mostly to do with good gut bacteria. Many children are not getting introduced to the bacteria needed to establish good gut bacteria. Many adults good gut bacteria is getting destroyed by diseases, such as, COVID. […]
