@onamission
Thanks for this information. One thing you have done for me is open my eyes to boron which seems not to have had enough research done on it. I am considering adding a boron supplement to our diets (wife and myself) based on some admittedly fairly superficial research done over the past couple hours. One thing that got me was that there was a study done in 1994 showing a significant improvement in brain function as well as bone and joint health, but this did not spur further research for some reason (likely $$). But there seems to be enough info out there to indicate that boron can be beneficial in a number of ways, while at the same time it may be difficult to get enough into on's diet, especially older people who don't eat as much quantity or variety of foods.

Just curious: I briefly glanced through your posts and you seem to be quite knowledgeable regarding vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium, but others also. I am wondering, did you have a career in this field, or what propelled you into gaining this knowledge? Thanks again, Hank
