Reply to comment by Great_White_Samurai in Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow up period, researchers found that the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest effects seen among those with severe deficiencies. by Wagamaga
Vitamin D deficiency is known to cause problems, but randomized trials of supplements show no benefit of giving people vitamin D. It’s more likely a correlation not a causation.

The answer is probably yes, but it should probably be no, since vitamin D supplements have no data backing up their benefits, but they are still widely recommended. ”Overkill” by Paul A Offit for one covers this quite well.

Reply to comment by killcat in In House M. D. there is an episode in which the doc asked the lady who was concerned about weight gain. Doc asked her to raise their hand and by seeing that he was able to determine she was pregnant. Do arms and pregnancy have some correlation? by Abhinav_Mani
I was in med school when it first aired and one of the first cases I remember was a child with neurological symptoms and obesity. They had run all kinds of tests already and I was wondering which disease could be so similar to Cushing’s… it was Cushing’s syndrome, which would be one of the first things to test for.
