Vitamins Junkies

Ok, today I have to review a news item, from the guardian –an online news paper of the UK- because.. Judy wants us to do it… I’m not really excited about it, and I’m actually late, but I have no choice here. . So, here I go, you better get ready!
I chose this one : http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2009/sep/10/optimum-vitamin-dose-supplements
It’s about vitamins supplements, and people who take them without needing them..
It happens that it’s not only unnecessary, but even harmful to your body… Beside of the lack of evidence that proves that taking vitamin supplements may be beneficial to health, there is evidence that proves that taking too many supplements will be bad to your system, because an excess of substance may be toxic... So you have to try to stay in the optimum level, but the optimum level of these substances is different for every person, and is influenced by very different factors, such as age, sex, weight, etc..
Of course that take supplements might be beneficial for your health, but only if you take them when you need them. That’s what many articles, papers, and investigations, done by various scientist, say. By example folic acid is recommended to womens that are under pregnancy, in order to avoid their child to get cleft lip or cleft palate.
Well that’s all… Have a nice day..
