Title: How to Write a CER
Claim: Exposure to intense UV light significantly increases folate levels in individuals.
Evidence: In a study comparing two groups, 10 individuals ("patients") exposed to intense UV light for 30-60 minutes once or twice a week for three months showed statistically significant higher folate levels compared to a control group of 64 individuals ("normals") who did not receive this treatment (p < 0.005). The standard error of the mean is represented in the data.
Reasoning: The significant difference in folate levels between the two groups suggests that UV light exposure may enhance the synthesis of folate, which is crucial for various bodily functions, including DNA synthesis and repair. This finding aligns with the evolutionary hypothesis that skin reflectance and UV exposure influence nutrient photolysis, supporting the notion that environmental factors can affect nutrient levels in the body.
In conclusion, the data indicates that UV light exposure has a positive effect on folate levels, which could have implications for health and nutrition, particularly in populations with limited sun exposure.
