New Studies Confirm Supplements Enhance Health
By Dr. Allen S. Josephs
I get so tired of responding to vitamin naysayers. The latest one is Dr. Eric Rimm, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard. He reportedly told ABC television that dietary supplements will not provide the nutritional boost a poor diet requires. He does correctly state that a change in diet and lifestyle will improve health, although adds that "fundamentally unhealthy people seeking dietary remedial actions through supplementation are wasting their time". He also adds, "Indeed, dietary supplements used in this way may provide little more than expensive urine."
Obviously, optimizing your diet and exercise plans is a great way to impenquin exercisingprove your health. Even so, I take issue with Dr. Rimm uniformly slamming nutritional supplementation. Dr. Michael Holick who wrote a wonderful review article1 on vitamin D deficiency last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, noted that 40% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. It is clear that the nutritional value of our food has diminished over the last few decades.
