The signal to noise ratio on some advice topics is absurdly bad on the internet overall for vitamins/minerals and general health topics (exercise, diet, etc.). A few people around here have actually made the effort to study them in-depth and have gotten much better information than would be readily available otherwise. I'm primarily thinking of Scott's wheat, fish, and Vitamin D posts at this point, though I've seen others around here in the past.
