I will also put it out there that I was taken to a strange report from a Yahoo news article (The credibility is now dipping below zero, I know) that spoke on a report that showed that pill supplements, in a double blind study over a few decades, shows that people who take vitamins daily die a few years sooner than their au-natural counterparts.
Though, it is likely that this data has something to do with their outstanding health conditions. Meaning, the vitamin enthusiasts likely already had a reason to be concerned with their health.
Just saying. More supplement for thought.
Alternatively, consuming massive doses of fat-soluble vitamins (particularly Vitamin E) is a really bad idea. Can't remember where I read it, but I assume it was the same study, and the multivitamin quantities involved were many times the RDA.
This isn't the original article I was talking about, but its something along the same lines, in case someone wants a look.
