    From Google AI:

    In 1990, the year the film was released, the actual house from Home Alone was purchased for $875,000. Economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago have determined that, at that price, the home was only affordable to the top 1% of Chicago households at the time.

    To afford the house in 1990 (assuming they spent no more than 30% of their income on housing), the McCallister family would have needed a household income of about $305,000, which is approximately $665,000 in 2022 dollars.

    The house last sold in 2012 for $1.58 million and again in early 2025 for $5.5 million.



  • Abstract:

    Since 2006, type 1 diabetes in Finland has plateaued and then decreased after the authorities’ decision to fortify dietary milk products with cholecalciferol. The role of vitamin D in innate and adaptive immunity is critical. A statistical error in the estimation of the recom- mended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medi- cine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Another study confirmed that 6201 IU/d was needed to achieve 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/d was needed to reach 100 nmol/L. The largest meta-analysis ever conduct- ed of studies published between 1966 and 2013 showed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <75 nmol/L may be too low for safety and associated with higher all-cause mortality, demolishing the previously presumed U-shape curve of mortality associated with vitamin D levels. Since all-disease mortality is reduced to 1.0 with serum vitamin D levels ≥100 nmol/L, we call public health authorities to consider designating as the RDA at least three-fourths of the levels proposed by the Endocrine Society Expert Committee as safe up- per tolerable daily intake doses. This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereaf- ter. Actions are urgently needed to protect the global population from vitamin D deficiency.
