Recently, there have been a couple of stories reporting how dangerous it is to take multiple antioxidants, high levels of Vitamin C, cereals enriched with vitamins, etc. I believe these stories are just setting the stage for a FDA takeover.
When a drug company wants to push a drug, such as a drug for breast cancer, the media is flooded with stories about breast cancer and Dr. Gutpa is interviewed on TV. Lo and behold, miracurously, a new breast cancer drug appears on the market. Same with cholesteral drugs, anti-depressants, etc. “Ask your doctor if you should take blah, blah, blah.” Half the time, the TV viewer doesn’t even know what the drug is for, but he’s supposed to ask his doctor for it.
And think about all of those drugs constantly advertised on tv, they all have side effects. Think of all the pyschiatric medicines that are around including ritalin which is being passed out like candy to our kids. But vitamins - watch out they can kill you.
