Yesterday I was telling my doctor about the various vitamins I always take and she replied abruptly: "Don't waste your money on that rubbish!" Surely she's not right, is she?
Well, there are very few doctors who regularly swallow vitamins themselves. Also, your GP is doubtless well aware of the new scientific survey from Copenhagen University which suggested taking vitamins might actually be harmful. Almost incredibly, the study found taking some vitamins was even associated with an increased death rate. If in doubt, ask the advice of your pharmacist before buying.
