they say vitamins are dangerous to our health, well the people pushing this agenda are those who support the control of vitamins and minerals. look up monsanto, they’re quite e v i l .

Basically, the evidence concluded that there is “no evidence to support antioxidant supplements for primary or secondary prevention (of mortality)”
The study also showed that vitamins A, E + beta-carotene MAY increase risk of mortality. http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/co…

We say, why do you feel you need to take them if you are eating a healthy balanced diet? And if you aren’t eating a healthy balanced diet, why aren’t you?

Science does not support the need for routine vitamin supplementation. If taking it makes you “feel” better and makes you “feel” like you are doing something positive towards your health, then that’s up to you, but don’t try and convince everyone else that there is a “need” to take routine supplements. -There is no convincing evidence to support this hypothesis.

Ask yourself WHY you feel the need to take these vitamins? What are you basing this on?

EDIT
One of the alties said, ” they are paid to do this! how else would doctors and nurses be able to answer questions ALL DAY unless it was their job? no nurse or doctor i know has all that spare time!”

Enough with your hysterical conspiracy theories. Believe it or not, Doctors and Nurses (like everyone else) do use the Internet, as shocking as that may sound. I typically answer no more than about 10 questions a day, usually less. Takes up less than 20 minutes of my time. So no…you’re going to have to find a new theory, “Big Pharma” are not paying us to be here.

Are “Big Herba” paying you to be here?

EDIT
Jello: OK…one more time…we aren’t necessarily saying RDA dose vitamin supplements are dangerous. We are simply saying there is just no need to take them if you are eating a healthy diet.

You people have got to learn critical thinking. You interpret weird things from our answers.

If you believe we work for “big Pharma” then surely we’d be encouraging you to take vitamins supplements as most vitamin companies are a subdivision of “big pharma” !

It’s almost like they sit there going through the list of logical fallacys.

FYI…Mike Adams in particular, and Natural News and Orthomolecular News are not reliable sources of information. You could have a journal called Leprachaun News for that matter with as much credibility.

Vitamins can indeed cause death, and there are several well documented cases. We need vitamins in trace amounts. If we exceed these amounts by such a level that our bodies’ cannot deal with the excess, then toxicity ensues. This can lead to death.

But since you’re so sure, do me a favor and take megadoses of vitamin A for the next few weeks. Make sure you keep me updated from your hospital bed when the doctors are treating you for a nonexistent case of vitamin toxicity.

But as my dad used to say an “expert” is just a drip under pressure…
