  1. Here's what this article says:

    "No studies have yet found that people benefit from taking multivitamin
    and mineral supplements, and some studies have found that vitamins like A
    and iron are toxic at high levels."

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18681490/

    No studies? None? This is a very strong statement. In a mere few
    seconds, I was able to turn up this:

    http://faculty.washington.edu/ely/coenzq10.html

    Granted this is for a single vitamin and not a "multivitamin", but if
    coQ10 has a benefit by itself, why wouldn't it have a benefit by itself?

    We need to start teaching the scientific method and critical thinking in
    schools. This type of all or nothing statement is simply wrong.

  2. The first clue that it was written by an idjit is this:

    Quoted message said:

    "...some studies have found that vitamins like A
    and iron are toxic at high levels."

    If they don't even know the difference between a vitamin and a
    mineral, they're not qualified to be interpreting research studies or
    giving advice to anyone.

    That is true! I didn't catch that one.
