vitamins work against your health. it's well documented.

vitamins don't do anything

their presence just correlates with phytonutrient complexes that are the things that actually keep you healthy.

you're stupid. sure there are some vitamins that have been found to cause no or adverse effects, but many have well documented benefits.

just lumping them all together and saying "bad no! bad!" based on some crappy article just shows you don't know how to research

multiple studies, multiple articles.

all show supplementation increases morbidity and mortality.

no one knows why, but it seems vits must be got from food for benefits, probably because of unknown co-factors.

a good summary from the best science journalist in the world.

What about buzzword supplements like Omega-3 and "antioxidants"? Do they generate real health benefits or more BS?
