We spend millions of pounds each year on vitamin supplements. Yet mounting scientific research has found that they offer few benefits – while some are actually bad for us.
Experts say that the best
way to consume vitamins is through a balanced diet, avoiding processed
foods. Fruit and vegetables,
especially the so-called superfoods such as wheatgrass,
are a potent source of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. However,
taking certain combinations of vitamin pills have been found to lead to
premature death.
