...study published in 2000 by microbiologist Russell Vreeland of Pennsylvania's West Chester University. Vreeland discovered some 250 million-year-old salt crystals in New Mexico that contained tiny quantities of ancient water. The water held preserved spores that sprang back to life once their salt and nutrient levels were adjusted. Whether this is possible in the punishing, radiation-soaked environment of Mars is hard to say, but it certainly makes anything that hints at salt worth a closer look...

They've been treating the same underlying cause all along...

When you are in what he calls "a state of high metabolic demand," any diet that excludes foods makes it harder to meet nutrient requirements. But he is quick to add that "for the average sedentary adult living in a Western society, a vegetarian diet meets dietary needs and prevents chronic diseases better than an omnivore diet...
