So now it's official - well, until the next piece of research, anyway. Scientists have found that not only are vitamins, anti-oxidants and the like of no benefit to us, they may have the reverse effect and increase our rate of mortality. That's sure to get the supplements industry's tongue wagging, and probably their spin doctors into a spin.
But really, the news is of no great surprise to those who are more concerned with following a healthful diet. Because doctors, for many years now, have claimed that if you eat properly, then you have no need for any additional vitamins, anti-oxidants or any other supplement which the latest bit of advertising may claim will prolong your active life.
A correct and balanced meal, in proportion to your age, size and lifestyle, is better by far than popping pills to make up for any supposed deficiencies.
