| Yeah Maureen. I heard this while listening to the Today Show. People who take vitamins don't live as long as people who don't take them. Now I'm really confused. I know that I have more energy when I take my vitamins and I know it's the B Vitamins in them. B Vitamins give you energy but an overabundance makes you hungry. Double edged swordk, isn't it. And now we find out that while vitamins may make us feel better, they're shortening our lives. What's a body to do? |
I was a bit concerned when I first read this, but I did a bit of research myself and the study is pretty much a load of rubbish. They didn't even conduct the research themselves, they've analyzed a pool of different and varied studies, so there is no standardization of test subjects, etc. etc. Anybody that has studied science knows that bias is an easy trap to fall into, even those with the most honest intentions. One persons potato is another's patata; I'm sure someone who wanted to prove the efficacy of vitamin supplementation could analyze the SAME data and come up with a completely different conclusion. It is really annoying how they've now just paranoid millions of people who do not have the scientific background to make their own critical judgement. If they are going to make such grand claims, at least make sure your study is flawless. |
