Lets see the actual proof that Vitamins and Supplements cause earlier deaths. Is there a coroner that found the death was due to vitamins or supplements?

This week has seen 2 major studies emerge on vitamins and supplements, odd as it follows a week of the free viewing of 'Food Matters - The movie', which looked at the benefits of high strength vitamins to the body.  The Movie was via mercola.com and was worth an hour of anyones time. Scientific evidence to show just how therapeutic doses are perfect for healing the body, not a measure of RDA's too low to be of use.

You may still find a link to that video site, via Mercola

But there seems to be flaws in these studies, and no data I can see on the strength of the vitamins taken, what else was going on in the lives of those taking part. Were there underlying conditions in health that these folks thought they needed vitamin supplements. In which case higher therapeutic doses would have been needed to be of benefit. The quality of the supplement is crucial just as an inferior generic drug is not as good very often as the original patent ones!
There have been no proven deaths to vitamins reported but there are plenty that traditional medicine are cited as responsible for! The cancer industry alone is worth 10x that of the vitamin industry and I'm sure the whole pharmaceutical industry combined exceeds that 10fold and some
So if a 'scientific' study is needed on supplements, then at least make it 'scientific' and not another scaremongering version - it's a little desperate!

Vast difference in taking the RDA, which is enough to keep you 'alive' but not to restore good health where it is lacking.  Here you need more to get it to be where it should and then some! 

Should you take a Dr's advice on vitamins and supplements Well ask yourself or them in fact just how much time they spent learning about nutrition when they trained....would you visit a dentist who did a days training or less to get your teeth fixed....i doubt it, so why ask a Dr about nutrition?

Shameful, as they should know, but anyone who has ever visited someone in hospital will clearly know that good nutriton and health recovery are not bedfellows in any of the wards.

Why did the BBC have Dr Rosemary Leonard speaking on vitamins and not a nutrionist? Bias where there should be a balanced view, which is very likely not going to come from a doctor.

We are what we eat and unfortunately what we eat is so very often of poor quality and subject to many pesticides etc and our soil increasingly nutrient poor, that what we eat, may be is what we do not want to be, so supplements and vitamins are probably essential to many of us.

While organic food is more expensive and families feeling the ever increasing cost of food, we are not giving people much option to eat the best of organics, neither do supplements come cheap, but what price your health?

We would often pay anything to restore good health and with good nutrition to start with, the payout could be considerably less and the health considerably better.
