Reply to 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
The study says causal.... But couldn't it easily be correlational?
For example: The more active I am and able to get outside, the more vitamin d I get. If I'm lying in a bed sick I'm not getting much vitamin d if at all.
So something like exercise/being healthy initially could explain the results rather than being specific to vitamin d....?

Reply to 4chan /lit/'s 2022 top 100 books of all time by pizzapastamix
Eh, yeah I hate these sorts of lists in that in reality, a lot of these books are terrible to read and unenjoyable for most.
They're classics sure, but I've read a number of the top 10 for example and they're a very painful slog that is completely unenjoyable.
As others have stated, once you know your reading preferences I doubt most of these will ever be in your top 100.
