Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Is that the NHANES study?
From all the items I have read, I have to disagree with those findings. For example, I’ve read estimates that something between 50-70 percent of Americans ARE deficient in magnesium. So how can they turn around and then say taking magnesium will kill you?
However, in toto, there is NO DOUBT that the biggest drug abuse problems in this country are prescription painkillers and anti-psychotics, of course adding the caveat that alcohol is number one.

The findings are the findings. One may disagree with conclusions drawn but are you saying the data was falsified? If you are referring to the study I read last month, the data shows statistically significant increased mortality among those who take vitamins compared to those who don’t.

Please define drug abuse problem.
There are people out abusing narcs but anti-psychotics??? They are generally prescribed for signficant mental issues and compliance is poor because of unpleasant side effects.
