030 - Vitamin D and Clinical Trials

Bizarre behaviour on the beach leads Chris and Jonathan to discuss the merits of vitamin D. Where exactly in the sun’s rays does this vitamin hide? Is there a deficiency epidemic? And can this miraculous vitamin reverse the course of diseases? Also: a Superman geek fail; putting the “randomized” back in “randomized clinical trials”; why 1 and 2 are dirty numbers; and pot cures epilepsy (sort of… not really).
