Vitamins are of no use – here we go again

Post Number:#1  Post by ofonorow » Wed Jul 06, 2022 9:11 am

There have only been two trials in the history of evidence-based medicine using natural vitamin E combined with vitamin C and both trials showed a 25% reduction in the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. This is just by taking simple, harmless supplements.

Other quotes in this nice article that rebuts recent news.

It appears this meta analysis has completely ignored one of the largest and longest studies of multivitamins in the world which comes from Harvard University. The combination of the 'Nurses' health study' and the 'Male physicians' trial' has followed 180,000 people now for a total of 30 years and looked at a vast array of different health parameters. One subset of this very large and comprehensive study has reviewed the intake of multivitamins.

The use of multivitamins in the male component of the trial showed no benefit up to 10 years but when the data was analysed at 10 years there was an 8% reduction in cataracts and common cancers. In the female component at 15 years, there was a 75% reduction in bowel cancer, a 25% reduction in breast cancer and a 23% reduction in cardiovascular disease purely from taking a multivitamin on a daily basis.

When the data in the males was analysed at 20 years there was a 44% reduction in cardiovascular disease.


There's no doubt that we all should be consuming 2-3 pieces of fruit per day and 3-5 servings of vegetables per day (one serving is the equivalent of half a carrot). It is estimated that less than 10% of the population would ingest this amount of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis.

Those people who consume this amount of fruit and vegetables daily have the lowest rates of heart disease and cancer in the community.
