schwit1 sends this excerpt from CBS: "’Enough’ with the multivitamins already. That’s the message from doctors behind three new studies and an editorial that tackled an oft-debated question in medicine: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier? After reviewing the available evidence and conducting new trials, the authors have come to a conclusion of ‘no.’ ‘We believe that the case is closed â€” supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,’ concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers, published Dec. 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. ‘These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.’ They went on to urge consumers to not ‘waste’ their money on multivitamins."
