Zinc and GLP-1 — looking for input

There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.

Agreed on the substance. I would put less weight on the timescale, because two months of anything is not enough to distinguish a trend from a wobble.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Vitamin D levels and micronutrients: an often-overlooked connection.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Careful with the causal language. Two things moving together in a period when five things changed is not a mechanism, and stating it as one makes the thread less useful to somebody reading it later.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

Moderator note: two posts asking for a source have been merged into one. Please search the thread before asking again. Carry on.
