For decades, studies suggested that moderate alcohol intake could protect the heart, reduce diabetes risk or even help you live longer. Newer research tells a different story.

        You can get the RDA of vitamin D from a healthy diet, without need for sunlight.

        Weight gain is caused by diet and lack of exercise, not lack of sunlight.

        SAD can be treated with non-carcinogenic lamps.
