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.
Yeah you got downvoted for common sense...bottom line is if you eat a decent diet you are getting the vitamins/minerals you need. EVERY thread on here there's people weighing in with The Proper Supplementation (All Variations Thereof - you will note there is in fact NOT "Only One" however) and I usually just ignore it all. And of course there will be non-scientific results like "I started this and don't get sick anymore" but I wouldn't bet if they're doing that they didn't shift their thinking/diet/exercise/what have you towards more healthy in the process, even if they aren't thinking about it....
