I have family members whom take mega doses of vitamins. I won't comment but from all my reading over the years mega doses stress the organs and what are not used pass through. My wife and I have always and continue to eat balanced meals each day. Obviously there are some special circumstances were vitmins are beneficial

Rubicon: Good post and I agree as my reading from various sources has me thinking twice about what supplements I have been taken. However, I don't put myself in the category of ever taking mega doses of vitamins.
The September 2012 issue of Consumer Reports has an interesting article worth reading entitled "10 Surprising Dangers of Vitamins & Supplements. In recent months I have to admit that I have been re-visiting the vitamins and supplements that I have been taking.
So many studies and so much to learn and I totally agree there are times when vitamins and supplements are beneficial.
