I have seen a number of interesting clinicals released in the last month and want to highlight a few of them.

In this 8-week randomized controlled trial in 22 postmenopausal women (average age of 66), daily supplementation with nitrate from beetroot extract improved muscle strength and power.

Some believe that sunscreen can reduce the body’s ability to absorb Vitamin D from the sun.

In this meta-analysis of 7 prospective observational studies in 1,495 adults, sunscreen use was associated with small, inconsistent reductions in vitamin D levels.

I don’t like this one at all.

In this cohort study in 46,222 U.S. adults (average age of 47), only black coffee or coffee that was low in added sugar and saturated fat was associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.

In this randomized controlled trial, in 889 participants who had completed treatment for colon cancer, an exercise program reduced the risk of cancer recurrence, new cancer development, and death during 7.9 years of follow-up assessments.
