Question 1. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D is 600 IU per day for adults age 19 to 70. Recent research has suggested that the actual RDA of Vitamin D is much higher than previously thought to promote health.
What study design would you propose using to investigate the correct RDA of Vitamin D on healthy weight?
Why would you choose this design study?
What are the strengths and limitations of this design?

You will see a list of clinical trials on diabetes. Make sure that the study is in fact a clinical trial (this can be seen in the title of the study or in the methods section in the abstract or body of the paper)
Copy and paste the link to the article and state the title and journal name.
