Forty years ago there was a big push to restrict vitamins/minerals to over the counter drug rules. This would have cost consumers a lot more. I joined the big fight in which most conservatives and liberals were allied and we saved the availability of vitamins, etc.
Now I am 75, in excellent health, have never suffered the horrible varicose veins and surgery like my mother. Had begun to have the pain and vein development when I read Adelle Davis and began to use what she recommended. The pain and veins went away, I never needed the surgery my mother required. I cured my father’s severe allergy problem and helped other suffering people. After reading Davis’ “Let’s Have Healthy Children” I raised two boys. One had his only cavity at age 23, the other at age 40. Good diet can really make a difference, but since most have some problems, the right supplements can work wonders. It costs under $10 to try a bottle of tablets you think might help. If they do, great. If not, a Starbucks latte costs the same. Meanwhile, big Pharma and govt. keep your hands off my supplements and freedom to educate (an important step) myself about my own health and nutrition needs. So, study, learn, experiment, and keep what works.
This study was done by Pfizer so I’m skeptical.
I eat right, take vitamins to supplement, I’m 57, not on any meds.
