A recent study found that not only does vitamin supplements possibly ineffective, but some may be detrimental to your health.
The combination of beta-carotene and vitamin A or vitamin E increased risk of premature death by 30% and 10%, respectively. Dr Bjelakovic said: "We could not find evidence that antioxidant supplements can prevent gastrointestinal cancers."In the meantime, it's probably sensible to avoid taking very large doses of vitamin supplements and to try to get the necessary vitamins from eating five or more portions of fruit and vegetables every day."
I’ve even seen some recommendations that you get nine servings of fruit and vegetables every day. How do you do that?
