So apparently a lack of vitamin D in white people is linked to increased risk of death due to stroke when compared to blacks, who are not affected in this way. What I find interesting is how these news articles always seem to compare whites, blacks, and maybe latinos, but there is hardly ever a mention of us yellow people or native americans, or any other minority. And yet in a recent article about % of households that have high-speed internet, the values were:
77% Asian
68% white
49% Latino
48% black
And then they promptly said that minorities quite obviously suffered the most. Asians aren't a minority now?
Unfortunately, I forgot the source for the internet article, but the vitamin one is linked here.
