"Registered dietitians know that vitamin and mineral supplements can be both harmful and helpful...The truth is no one knows.
The review describes the recent evidence that shows how certain supplemental vitamins and minerals have benefits to health with respect to prevention of diet-related chronic disease. And it also addresses recent evidence showing large intakes of certain vitamins and minerals can negatively impact health. For instance, supplemental folic acid or vitamin E show both benefit and harm."
Just a few years ago, these experts would have told you that Vitamin E and other antioxidants were good, not bad.
Fact is, the data change too often and too widely to be reliable.
The point?
Not that supplements are or are not good, that they are or are not bad?
The point is no one knows and if they don't know about this stuff, you can bet that they don't know about the other bull they spew.
When it comes to overweight/obesity, the only thing we know with certainty is that if you consume fewer Calories than you burn, you must lose weight and if you follow the advice of the experts, you will fail at that with near certainty.
There is a right way to lose weight. Discover it. Follow it.
