...like a baby gurgling on its pablum (greasily, in big, viscous bubbles), his Coors can outstretched as he flexed to show off his "megalopulous muscles," twittering about the floor like a wind-up toy (skittering into walls ever so lightly and then reversing his direction), telling us about his "Vitamin A" (as in acid) as Gay went to get his flute so he could demonstrate that he was not yet Ian Anderson...
...Because the kidneys produce the form of vitamin D necessary for the normal bone-building process, many people with kidney disease, and especially those on dialysis treatments, suffer from serious and progressive bone deterioration and may become crippled.

They have tested it on about 50 patients so far. DeLuca is confident that the synthetic vitamin will prove invaluable...

The average amount of decreased illness...
...A.M.A. spokesmen ignored three of the important studies and misrepresented the others. They also mentioned the possibility of serious adverse side effects but referred to them as hypothetical. The danger of forming kidney stones has been greatly exaggerated. Vitamin C is a much safer substance than ordinary cold medicines; moreover, it can stop a cold, whereas ordinary cold medicines cannot...
