Summary:
- This article discusses a scientific study that finally proved a theory about the role of vitamin B1 (thiamine) in the body that was first proposed in 1958.
- The study found that vitamin B1 is crucial for the proper functioning of mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of cells that convert nutrients into energy.
