Gracie, I don't know about the Today Show report, but I know what you are talking about as far as hearing about reports saying supplements in general not being as effective as a healthy diet and exercise.
I think we've all heard the controversies regarding the USDA food pyramid, the controversies with the Harvard food pyramid, the controversies with supplements, the controversies with food products...you know what I mean.
I certainly don't want to demean anyone's beliefs, (I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me) but if you look can can find studies that produce the pros and cons to support most arguments.
We all know people who never smoked and ate a healthy diet and exercised and developed .... (fill in the blank with your own experience, lung cancer, high cholesterol...). Or the opposite. We all know people who smoked, ate junk, drank too much et al., who lived to a ripe old age.
Do what is right for you in your heart and spirit to the best of your ability. Enjoy life and don't hurt another human. Follow the ten commandments. Enjoy each day you are given. None of us have a promise of tomorrow.
In my short time on this earth, I've experienced so many unexplainable things, I just put my trust in God and try (not always easy) to do my best to use commonsense.
Opps, sorry to sound like I'm preaching. Back to the subject.
In a quick search, I found this:
