Tuesday Links

Posted on July 2, 2024July 2, 2024 by John C. Goodman

There are no health benefits from taking multivitamins daily. The study covered 390,124 generally healthy adults who were followed for more than 20 years.

Doctors are using Apple Watch to monitor abnormal heart rhythm – without FDA approval. (WSJ)

Study: For low back pain, try walking.

What do you do when your employee wants to take a leave of absence to get pregnant and have a baby? Offer to pay the cost of freezing her eggs instead. (NYT)

Jason Furman: The employment level for native-born workers is … below its pre-pandemic level, while foreign-born workers have accounted for all employment gains … since 2019. WOW.

    Your blog is excellent. Why undermine it by being so biased about natural medicine? This study is flawed. There are lots of studies contradicting it. But here is a simple thought experiment. The US government, which is no fan of supplements, says that 98% of Americans are deficient in potassium, lesser but still huge percentages are deficient in magnesium, vitamin D and so on. If the people are really deficient in such basic nutrients, how can a good multi ( not one from China) not help?

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
