from the September 2012 issue of Fitness Magazine:
Should You Swallow by Paige Greenfield
"Taking vitamins to stay healthy seems like a no-brainer. But new research has found that supplements aren't the magic bullet we've been led to believe. One recent review of 78 studies found that antioxidant supplements don't reduce the risk for death from disease; in fact, in some cases they actually raise it. And now calcium supplements, which so many of us have been dutifully popping for years, have been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks. Say what? But don't trash your stash just yet. Read on so you can make the best decisions for your body."
The article goes on to state the facts that "Vitamins don't cancel out bad health habits" & "Megadoses are useless and possibly even harmful" & "What you put on your plate mattes most".
