Vitamins, Good? Vitamins, Bad?

The recent spate of articles stemming from the same JAMA research has led folks to questions the value of the supplements they take. A few antioxidant vitamins are featured in the articles, yet the broad sweep of general headlines may have already affected enough people.

There's a NewsTarget article that has responded to the negative vitamin news and argued that the Journal of the American Medical Association "accepts millions of dollars in advertising from drug companies each year." Would this affect the neutrality of the publication toward the natural health community?

The study apparently does not identify whether the vitamins involved in the study are synthetic or derived from whole foods, nor does it reveal the prior health of the various participants in the study.

I'm sure by now most of you have read the "bad vitamins" stories, perhaps you should consider reading a "good vitamins" rebuttal before deciding.

NewsTarget also featured this somewhat related, certainly humorous cartoon pitting pharmaceutical treatments versus natural health solutions.
