Some people will experience vitamin D toxicity when taking 2,000 iu per day of vitamin D if their magnesium and vitamin A intakes are too low. On the flip side, too much vitamin A without the right levels of vitamin D can result in increased risk of hip fracture. [2016] - Laura Kelly

Asking, "How much is it?" is THE BIGGEST buying signal. Telling me, "Your price is too high." is THE SECOND BIGGEST buying signal. [2005] - Jeffrey Gitomer

I'll use the SPDR Gold Trust (the biggest one) as an example of how gold ETFs work. When the buy order is processed, two things happen. First of all, the fund issues 10 shares to cover the investor's purchase. Then the fund uses the purchase money to buy an ounce of gold, which is added to the SPDR Gold Trust hoard in London. This means that outstanding shares rise as the ETF's gold stock grows. The opposite process occurs when a SPDR investor decides to sell. His shares are redeemed, and the fund sells the corresponding amount of gold from its stock. [2009] - James DiGeorgia

Autophagy is considered the "primary system for cleaning the body" from the inside out. Some food components like spermidine can boost the process. Wheat Germ is the cheapest source of spermidine. At sufficient doses, wheat germ can also help control cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetic blood sugars, and pain, fatigue, headache, and mood swings associated with painful periods. It can also boost Bifidobacteria in the gut. Perhaps people with cancer shouldn't go out of their way to increase their spermidine intake. The other group I would advise caution for are those with kidney failure. [2023] - Michael Greger

Listing agents often allow buyers to do home inspections before writing the offer for the purpose of writing a subject free offer. Yes, there is no guarantee that you'll win the multiple offer situation and so there is a possibility that you'll feel like you wasted a couple of hundred dollars on a home inspection, but the risk of you not doing one could cost you thousands. [2015] - Gary Wong
