DESCRIPTION: What does the best available science say about the role multivitamins may play in heart disease, cancer, and longevity? Multiple studies demonstrate the use of multivitamins may be superfluous.
I've previously addressed multivitamins in my videos Are Multivitamins Good For You? ([ Ссылка ]) and Multivitamin Supplements and Breast Cancer ([ Ссылка ]) (with a follow-up in my Q&A Is multivitamin use really associated to an increased risk of breast cancer?, [ Ссылка ]). I also touched on potential risks in Dietary Theory of Alzheimer's ([ Ссылка ]).
With the exception of vitamins D and B12 (Vitamin Supplements Worth Taking, [ Ссылка ]), we should strive to get our nutrients from produce, not pills.
As new studies and meta-analyses on multivitamins come out, my take-away message remains the same: getting our nutrients from fruits and vegetables—not pills—appears to serve us better. You can learn more from my video on past research on multivitamins here: Are Multivitamins Good For You? ([ Ссылка ]).
Multivitamins seem to increase women's risk of breast cancer: Multivitamin Supplements and Breast Cancer ([ Ссылка ]). I discuss this research more while answering a reader's question in an associated blog post: Is multivitamin use really associated to an increased risk of breast cancer? ([ Ссылка ]).
Other dietary supplements might not be much better. I created a three part series on it:
• Dietary Supplement Snake Oil ([ Ссылка ])
• Heavy Metals in Protein Powder Supplements ([ Ссылка ])
• Some Dietary Supplements May Be More Than a Waste of Money ([ Ссылка ])
