Article Evaluation: Placeo effect

The information given in the article gives a good history about the placebo effect, and the article states when, how, and who came up with placebo effect. I believe more could be added to the articel to give it more depth. I think they could add more examples of new clinical trials and how they use placebo affects today in modern day medicine. The article stays neutral and does't state any opinions or false information about the placebo effect. Article Evaluation: Vegan Nutrition

In the vegan nutrition article that I assigned I want to add more about iron intake and as well as calcium in take in vegasn versace omnivores. I want to add some information and studies about osteoporosis and see if there is any correlation between calcium in take and the risk of getting osteoporosis. As well as iron deficiencies. I also want to look into these new suppliments called veggie omegas that vegans take. Add more nutriton ideas that involve possible suppliments vegans may take if they chose too.

Ideas: B12 is a vitamin that is mostly given to the body through red meat. Suggest to take a B12 suppliment and the dosage.

ARTICLE- VEGAN NUTRITION

Calcium: It is also recommended to consume other calcium-fortified foods and drinks, some of those drinks include soy and rice drinks, and orange and apple juices that are rich in calcium. ( link https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/89/5/1627S/4596952 )

Vitamin D: It was found through a study that Vegans have a low Vitamin D intake. Vitamin D intake depends on multiple factors such as sun exposer and through foods consumed. (link: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/89/5/1627S/4596952 ) The more important intake of the two is through sun exposer. Our bodies can intake enough vitamin D by sunlight, but for those who live in an area with less sun exposure must rely on the foods they eat or rely, and taking a vitamin D supplement. (link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1365-2796.2000.00595.x) The recommended amount of Vitamin D is 600 IU for people between the ages of 1-70 years of age, and 800 IU for 71 and older. (Link: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/guide/calcium-vitamin-d-foods) It is suggested that vegans should take Vitamin D supplements atleast during the winter time due to the lack of sun exposure.
