We’re usually told that we get all the Vitamin-D we need from the sun. I’ve heard that 10-15 minutes a day in the sun is enough to give you your full daily requirements. However, now-a-days most of us avoid the sun and if we do go out we make sure to put on sunscreen and/or […]
I’d thought about writing something on this topic, but hadn’t really figured out what I wanted to say, when I found this article on Numbers on Teen Pregnancy as a Freakonomics NY Times Opinion piece (here’s the Freakonomincs NY Times blog).
