Vitamin D insufficiency: no recommended dietary allowance exists for this nutrient.
CMAJ. 2002 Jun 11;166(12):1541-2.
PMID: 12074121
In fact, current recommendations for vitamin D are not designed to ensure anything. They are simply based on the old, default strategy for setting a nutritional guideline, which is to recommend an amount of nutrient similar to what healthy people are eating. This approach underlies the circular logic behind a familiar refrain about nutrition: "If you eat a good diet, you won't need supplements." By this logic, the answer to the question, "How much nutrient do you need?" is, "Whatever healthy people happen to be eating." The essential point, lost in the confusing terminology of modern nutrient recommendations, is that a recommended daily allowance (RDA) does not yet exist for vitamin D. Instead, the recommendations for it are referred to as "adequate intake" (AI).12,13 The AI for young adults (5 µg or 200 IU) was chosen to approximate twice the average vitamin D intake reported by 52 young women in a questionnaire-based study reported from Omaha, Neb., in 1997.13,14 Because the available evidence was acknowledged as weak, the Food and Nutrition Board of the US Institute of Medicine called its recommendation an AI.

How To Relieve Constipation Fast? About twelve percent of the population worldwide report constipation each year. It is characterized by undue effort and time to expel the stool. Here we discuss some useful home remedies to treat constipation. Sometimes it can be really stubborn and won't go away.
An average human being visits the toilet six times a day and stays there for about two minutes. However, attending the call of nature is not always this easy. Sometimes, a common gastrointestinal condition called constipation occurs. It becomes difficult to expel the feces. A desire to visit the washroom is not enough to physically eliminate the feces.

"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who want to maintain a healthy weight over time shouldn't obsess about their fat intake, new research shows.
The percentage of calories that a person got from fat, as opposed to protein or carbohydrates, had nothing to do with how much weight they gained in the coming years, the research team found.
The kinds of fat they ate didn't matter either, Dr. Nita Forouhi of the Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK and her colleagues found.
The findings, Forouhi noted in an email to Reuters Health, show that "it is more important to aim for a healthy lifestyle including a balanced healthy diet and regular physical activity, than to focus on fat intake alone as a factor for weight gain.""
