    Yeah, I agree. It's not just about the prevent of cancer or disease is why some we take them. I take them because my energy feels low without them. I work out 4 - 5 days a week. I eat really healthy, and my energy was still low. The vitamins make sure we get vitamins from areas that weren't reach from our diet. It's really hard to reach all vitamin needs from diet alone. The age matters too. When I was a teen - 25ish, I didn't really need them. But now that I'm older, my energy level doesn't feel the same.

    They are missing the boat on vitamin supplements. I practice intermittent fasting and taking a daily multivitamin supplement is a way for me to achieve weight loss and still get the vitamins I need on a daily basis. The word here is SUPPLEMENT. So, depending on what your doing they can be a waste of money or they can be a necessity. I can only speak for myself but I do not eat a well balanced diet daily that will give me everything I need for my daily values. It says in the video studies have shown vitamins and supplements do not prevent cancer, heart disease or longevity. I don't take them for those reasons and I'm pretty sure there still is no cure for cancer last time I checked.

    I don’t think it’s gonna sway anyone. Ironically I asked my doctor about the supplements I take and multivitamins. He didn’t find it to be beneficial. He said most people are getting the vitamins from the foods they eat. But he also added it won’t hurt to take the vitamins, but has doubt as to its effectiveness. He then said the one vitamin that most people tend to be deficient or low in is Vitamin D. So he recommends that. This didn’t sway me from taking my daily vitamins that I’ve been doing for decades.

    Yep, D3, omegas and K are common deficiencies in the US. Also depending on what you eat, you might not be getting enough nutrients. You have to be conscientious of your diet in order to be getting all you need. Also, the poor soil quality in the US = less nutrient dense foods than in other countries and that's not even touching all the filler and crap in the processed foods we eat. I've gone through periods of eating healthy and eating crap, and I feel the difference. I'll also take d3 and omegas no matter how well I'm eating, but I need a multi when I'm eating crap.

The Flexner Report's intention was to improve medical school education and one of it's effects was also to severely restrict and eliminate alternative treatment modalities and establish an allopathic health care industry under high profit (profits are allowed to be high due to the law, a patent system) pharmacutical industry model.

Also, most supplement brands are Not owned by pharmaceutical companies. Why belabor the point? There's no grounds for agreement. Also, there's a void in knowledge of the history of what has morphed into todays allopathic medical care establishment going back to the Flexner Report of 1910. The original goals of the Flexner Report are today the same as it was back then. To establish a medical care establishment that is most of all "expensive.". Why expensive ? Who would benefit from medical care being expensive ? Answer : the capitalist, free market profiteers (drug companies and medical device manufacturers) that corner the market on the products that they sell through legal monopoly practices codified by patent laws.

    Hello, I understand your frustration for the lack of consensus within the scientific community on best health practices both in the Covid pandemic and with health recommendations like what vitamins to take. I wanted to bring to your attention a couple reasons why this is the case in hopes it will help you have a better understanding of where these recommendations come from. With something so important as the health of every individual and our community, the scientific community takes this responsibility incredibly seriously. Because of this, it can take a long time to come to a consensus about what is best. The human body is incredibly complicated, we are continuing to learn more about it each day that may contradict previously information. In the COVID pandemic, the desire was to get as much information as possible to the community. I suggest you think about it on the flipside, how angry would you be if the scientific community/government had some information that they were withholding from you because there was not enough research or information yet to make a consensus? Especially with research, it takes time to collect all the data, analyze it, synthesize the significance of it, and present it to the community. Our government was trying their best to share what information they had as quickly as possible. Regarding what vitamins to you should use, it is difficult to come up with a consensus because it is incredibly individualized. Different patient’s will require unique recommendations based on their diet, lifestyle, racial background, age, and health goals. The way research works is that they collected data on hundreds to thousands of individuals to make their recommendations. I would recommend you reach out to your primary care provider to discuss what vitamins would work best for you. Some vitamins may be unnecessary for you and a waste of money, while others can help decrease your cardiovascular mortality risk like a Niacin supplement.

    I conducted a meta-meta-analysis of many meta-analyses, each of which analyzed dozens of studies, and I concluded: all research is crap, in 1000 absolutely identical studies there will be 1000 absolutely different results. On any issue, including taking multivitamins, the conclusion from a meta-meta-analysis of all meta-analyses is always the same, REMEMBER THIS CONCLUSION: Maybe multivitamins are helpful. Perhaps they are harmful. Or perhaps they are neutral. Nobody knows jackshit lololol. And in this conclusion you can replace "multivitamins" with anything you want and you will be totally right

    The graphic at 0:52 said that digestive diseases and certain medications can interfere with absorption of nutrients. This segment seems to assume most of its viewers are “healthy”, don’t take prescription medications and that a bottle of multivitamins cost more than an equivalent amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. GI diseases on the rise among Americans. Prescription medications known to interfere with drug absorption include oral contraceptives, acid reflux medicines and corticosteroids like prednisone. Those are all commonly prescribed meds, some are even used for months or years.

    "You cant just eat hot Cheetos, take a vitamin and call it a day?" I mean yeah, technically that's the ideal situation for when a multivitamin comes in hand. But like the other doctor said, if you're actually eating a healthy diet, you really don't need a multivitamin. Plus many of our foods are fortified anyway. As a personal trainer, I'm very much anti supplement. But there are two supplements I do take. Creatine (2.5g per day) for muscle performance, and melatonin (0.7mg) every couple days for more consistent nights of sleep.

    I just want to know why vitamin supplements are not very helpful. It sounds like they’re saying their daily recommended vitamin mineral amounts are what is actually not that helpful. Trying to hit those numbers purely off food for all of them everyday is virtually impossible or a full time job, one that you don’t only not get paid for but is incredibly expensive. They set us up for this by setting these incredibly hard to hit numbers suggesting it has to be everyday so of course people get anxious and try to play it safe
