Attack of the Killer Multi-Vitamins!

Hey Green Health Heads,

I don’t know about you, but it seems like every time you turn around you get more contradictory evidence about what to do for your health. It seems like everybody has a different point of view on what you should do. Case in point, multi-vitamins. Ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper it seems like people have been beating into our heads that we need to take them. The soil is depleted, you don’t get enough from food, you need anti-oxidants to fight disease, your teeth will rot, your hair will fall out, here, put these in your mouth, now!

But, not so fast. It seems, now, that there is a considerable amount of research out there which says that taking synthetic multi-vitamins actually does nothing for you or worse, may be dangerous to your health. We visited with UCLA Registered Dietician, Deborah Novak and tried to figure out what the heck is going on here. For a recap of our discussion visit www.greenhealthlive.com.
