In this the 5th report of the 5 part series reviewing vitamins and supplements, extensive review of the medical literature finds NO health benefits in terms of lifespan, cardiovascular risk or the development of cancer in populations taking supplements for more than 10 years. Certainly there is no added benefit in Vitamin and dietary supplements provide no significant, if any health benefits. The answer is clear for the first time. In the February 9, 2009 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, Dr Neuhouser and 14 other researchers from over 10 medical centers across the United States report these results after following over 161,000 women for more than 8 years.
They found no evidence that taking dietary supplements including vitamins had any effect on lifespan, cancer, or heart disease. Dr Neuhouser, concludes the money is better spent on “buying more fruits and vegetables.” More about health foods, supplements, vitamins, anti oxidants http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/169/3/294/
