Vitamin Pills a Waste of Money?

I remember posting a blog not too long ago about Vitamin Pills help against diseases. Now, I found an article about how Vitamin Pills that are supposed to help fight diseases are a waste of money. The Heart Protection Study did testing that the Vitamin bills were rarely beneficial. Don't get me wrong though, it's not like vitamins aren't good for you.. they are.. but not to help fight against cancer. Vitamins are taking to fill up the things that we don't ear.. like vegetables and fruit. At least we know taking our vitamins are doing some good in our body. I'm just disappointed to see that there's not a lot you could do to prevent cancer.

"There is a lot of evidence that vitamins in the diet are a good thing such as eating fresh fruit and vegetables."

The people studied were given relatively high doses of vitamins - 600mg of vitamin E, 250mg of vitamin C and 20mg of beta-carotene.

Rory Collins, Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Oxford who led the study which is published in the Lancet, said: "Over five years we saw absolutely no effect.

"Vitamin pills are a waste of time. There was no evidence of any protective effect against heart disease, cancer or any other outcome. They are safe but they are useless."

I personally take some vitamins as well as an iron supplement to increase the levels in my blood. I think they are working to a degree, but people shouldn't rely on them entirely to maintain health and should look to improve their diet and lifestyle.
