I got into an argument with some likely-malnourished guy today about how vitamin supplements are borderline-necessary to keep yourself healthy these days. He told me the title quote.
He then sent me this study--don't worry, it's archived--and I naturally started looking for who FUNDED the study.
Well, blow me down, it was the Canadian government. Nope, can't say anything that endangers the gravy train of government grants, no sir!
Obviously, that was all I needed to dismiss it. Truck Fudeau. He took that as surrender. Truck him too.
But whatever, I thought I'd vent some steam a little, because remember: 97% of all scientists agree with who writes the checks.
Our body takes what it needs and lets the rest pass through.
This is not true for all vitamins - I forget which ones as I don't do high-dose supplementation but it's definitely not true as a blanket statement.
Fat soluble do not Water soluble do FYI
I’m sorry, I’m not a biologist.
Yeah, there's several comments here to this effect so nothing personal, just in case people are taking comments here as the end-all/be-all....
I don’t take it personal. Everything deserves to be challenged.
You are right about that, I should be more considerate when I say something.
I have been on a Vit binge for about a week, I pee bright yellow with a tint of green. I ate very little one day and could feel a little overloaded from the vitamins, I definitely had more than I needed.
