In 1912, a Polish biochemist Kazimierz Fank Funk isolated compounds that he believed gave brown rice its protective properties. He coined the word “vitamin” to describe the compounds.

This marked the beginning of an era in which nutrition became more accessible, but it was not without its complications.Today, multivitamins have become an essential part of the daily health regimen of…

Fellow Rolling Stones writer Mikal Gilmore and I were sitting in the front row on one side of the stage, and Bruce spotted us during the encore, gave us a quick wave (we’d both been spending time with him recently writing articles), and then he returned to the microphone and shouted: “This is for all you old rock critics!” Then he played the opening riff of “Glory Days,”…
