Keep Taking the Tablets?

A US study followed nearly 400,000 adults, with no serious chronic diseases, for 20 years. Folk taking daily multivitamins, were actually marginally more likely to die in the study period, than counterparts who didn't pop these pills (https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/jun/26/daily-multivitamins-may-increase-risk-of-early-death-major-study-finds). Daily multivitamins, clearly didn't make subjects live longer. There's, however, suggests that vitamins are useful in specific cases/ slow age-related cognitive decline. In general, however,"multivitamins overpromise and underdeliver". Perhaps folk would be better advised to eat healthy food, containing micro- and macro-nutrients and fibre, with limited saturated fat and cholesterol? Multivitamins are, however, big business. In the UK, for example, they are worth £0.5 billion per year!
