Question:
How much evidence is there regarding the effectiveness of dietary supplements and additional vitamins?
I have just done a RealAge questionnaire, and, congratulate me, I am 78, but one of the rejuvenating issues they raise is taking supplements. Other people I know, those killjoy scientists, affirm that the impact is negligible. Anecdotes and websites, please.
Answers:
The evidence is they are of no benefits, why not believe people who have data like scientists? Do you just want someone with no real knowledge to say ' yes they will make you live for ever'?
Excess vitamins for example, above RDA are not only useless but toxic!
Vitamin C in doses of 500mgs or more may be carcinogenic, other excess water soluble vitamins are peed out unchanged.
Fat soluble vitamins accumulate, Vitamin D is toxic to the kidney and Vitamin A to the eyes.
