This interview of Dr. Robyn Balden, a vitamin D expert, was excellent.  She talks about the role that vitamin D plays on the brain, on overall health, on immunity, aging, and other situations.  She also discusses what the limits of vitamin D are, how much people should be taking when they first start, and other scenarios.  It's not that long.  Give it a listen.  I call it a must-listen because she covers points I hadn't heard of before in a very short time.  Saving me time.  I like that.

Removing fat from foods required substituting it with something else. In most cases, manufacturers chose sugar. Now, added sugar is all but impossible to escape in processed foods, which account for 58% of the average American’s daily calories. Whether you’re knowingly munching on a death-dealing candy bar like me (three teaspoons of sugar) or unwittingly adding canned sauce to your homemade pasta (also three teaspoons, only half of it from the tomatoes), it’s glucose all the way down.
