I was reading Stepahnie Seneff's article for the WAPF quarterly magazine about sulfur deficiency. In the article (which is a must read once it gets online), she points out that the biochemical reactions of cholesterol sulfate and vitamin D3 sulfate haven't been worked out. There isn't even an RDA for sulfur. The assumption has been that obtaining sulfur (which the eighth most prevalent element in the body) won't be a problem. The mechanism which kick in during a sulfur deficiency aren't clearly known. Overall it seems like scientist haven't been asking the right questions about sulfur.
What other topics are scientist asking questions the wrong questions about? What topics aren't they asking questions about at all? It would be nice if these were thoughtful topics and not just people saying diabetes research and low fat diets over and over again. Of course the AHA, ADA and the drug companies have their scientists doing a good amount of ridiculous research. But what topics is the scientific research totally neglecting or exploring in the wrong manner?
