The head of the children's hospital in Philadelphia, Paul Offit, in an article in the New York Times dispelled the myth that taking vitamins and vitamin supplements has a beneficial effect on the health of millions of people around the world..

Recently, according to Paul Offit, scientists are increasingly finding a connection between taking vitamin supplements and serious health problems.. Despite the fact that vitamins really play a huge role and are simply necessary for the normal existence of the human body, their overabundance leads to a serious blow to the immune system.

Multivitamins are especially dangerous in this regard, since they significantly increase the risk of cancer and heart disease, which significantly reduces the duration of human life.

According to Paul Ofitta, a sufficient dose of vitamins a person should not receive with the help of vitamin supplements, but through a healthy diet with an abundance of fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin supplements can be taken only when a person cannot receive their necessary dose through food. However, this should be done very carefully and only on the recommendation of a doctor and nutritionist, who will calculate the required dose of vitamins.
