The famous metaanalyses which has shown that vitamin supplementation is essentially useless, or possibly even harmful totally destroys the basic argument ("oh look, more vitamins!" - not that it's usually even true) that organic is good for your health.
It might still be tastier. Or not.
Do you mean these metaanalyses?
Yes. Even if PhilGoetz is correct that harmfulness was an artifact, there's still essentially zero evidence for benefits of eating more vitamins than RDA.
I thought Vitamin D was an exception.
