The CHINA STUDY DIET shows NO
record of anyone having heart problems that eat this diet. Not talking Chinese food ..talking whole grains, fruits and veggies. This book available in most book stores, worth the read The book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" will save your life !

I think vitamin pills may not really work and may have an adverse effect as they giver the user a false sense of vitamin security. I'd rather eat the real thing and know that I get all the right vitamin from the source.

Researches found higher odds of death associated with six of them. They are Vitamin B; Folic acid; Iron; Magnesium; Zinc and Copper. So before taking all these multivitamins one must clear up if they are really needed.

There is significant evidence for:
+ Vitamin D
+ Calcium
+ Omega III (fish oil)
+ Digestive Enzymes
+ Fiber
According to The Puristat Digestive Wellness Center, their Advanced Supplementation product provides all these.
They have a bunch of very good free articles too on many topics.

The other commenters hit the nail on the head. In addition, all of the so-called paid-for-by-Big Pharma/AMA studies cited were flawed. People need a lot more vitamin D and K2 to go with it - NOT CALCIUM! Yeah, as if supplement marketing is bad. What a joke, Big Pharma is the king at that. And they kill and make sicker plenty of people with their garbage.
