I think the study results are being distorted.

There are real benefits to certain vitamins and supplements, even if wholesale use of multivitamins will not prevent cancer or heart disease.

Where I live there is a real shortage of vitamin D. Niacinamide can help with arthritis. Vitamins and supplements have there place in modern health, but are not a magic solution.

Like most things, I guess. That sounds like a balanced view.

What they’ve said....and I’ve read through their piece and additional studies....is that if you just ate a balanced diet...you’d get all the vitamins necessary. The ability of vitamins to translate over for ‘lost vitamins’ because you won’t eat a balanced diet? Marginal. It’s not working the way that everyone was convinced over the past forty years.

At the end of this whole mess, one needs to ask themselves where exactly they went off the road for eating a balanced diet. We used to be a society that took simple raw ingredients and made entire dinners from that...without processed sugar, great amounts of sodium, or high fat contents.
