Vitamin supplements a waste of money?

Physicians urge, 'stop wasting money on vitamin and mineral supplements'Editorialists responding to three articles on vitamin and mineral supplementation being published in Annals of Internal Medicine urge U.S. adults to stop wasting their money on dietary supplements. The authors cite the large body of accumulated evidence showing that most multivitamin supplements are ineffective, and some may cause harm. The message is simple, the authors write. Most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified, and they should be avoided.
