Multivitamins—a Health Hazard?

Dear Sir,
Vitamins were originally introduced as a protection against scurvy and other nutrition-related diseases. Are we really going to obsess about the newest study making some obscure point about a most probably miniscule side effect about vitamins when we know that vitamins are an integral part of every person's diet? Unfortunately, many people in the USA do not have perfect diets--lack of time or education prevents them. If the newest scare prevents these people from eating supplements as well then we could have an outbreak of scurvy on our hands!

recently I had a cat scan.. thay found mutiple subcentimeter pulmonary nadules..the doctor said the pulmonary nodules could be inflammatory or neoplastic.. follow up in 6 months..
My question is "I take a lot of vitimin's, could the nodules be from vitimins??"
