So, the 1st study “found no evidence that vitamin and mineral supplementation would reduce heart disease in pill takers.”
“The next study....found the multivitamin did nothing to slow cognitive decline among men 65 and older compared to placebo takers.”
“The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing another heart attack, or myocardial infarction.”
But what about energy and other aspects?
To do this subject justice would require a depth of study that nobody is motivated to fund. IMHO.
They did a blurb on this study on ABC radio news as I was driving home today and apparently the findings were very narrow and only applied to a few specific groups. They weren’t making any general claims about the benefits of vitamins.
All of these were observational studies, not clinical studies. They can’t be used to made a definitive clinical recommendation.
