Latest LARGE study shows vitamin supplements not helpful in disease prevention.
The results of a very large study extending over several years about the use of vitamin supplements has recently been published as many of you know. It says that multivitamin supplements have not proved successful in the prevention of cancer and other diseases and in some cases taking multivitamins can be harmful.
Yesterday it was reported that taking vitamin B supplements, (moderately) can promote eye health in older people.
It also reaffirms that nutrients obtained from food are more effective to promote general health and even if our diet is not all that "healthy" our bodies do absorb what they need.
