Multivitamin Effects
In a study of over 160 thousand older (age 50+) women, multivitamin effects were nil when it came to reducing cancer and heart disease. The study was published in this week's Archives of Internal Medicine.
The message? Getting your vitamins from multivitamin pills isn't a good stubstitute for getting them from food, though they are a good insurance policy. This study wasn't the most rigorious as far as depth, and since it was only over an 8 year period, did not test longer term disease development, so multivitamin effects against cancer/heart disesae could be present had this study continued longer.
