"The problem with all these headlines is they're based on an editorial published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a pro-pharma publication almost entirely funded by pharmaceuticals which compete with multivitamins. When I visited the study publication page on Annals.org, I was immediately greeted with a pop-up advertisement trying to hawk a pharmaceutical drug.
It's almost as if the pharma-funded publication is saying, "Here, while we trash the reputation of vitamins, why don't you buy some drugs from our sponsors?"

I really don't know for sure if they are good for us or bad for us, although I highly doubt the latter. One thing I do know for sure from my years as a scientific researcher, the placebo effect is a real and documented effect and must be included as a control in any credible research study. If one thinks it will work, the odds increase that it will..............
Other than that, we all just need to go live in the country and raise our meat and grow our own veggies. Of course, we'd still have to pay taxes.................

This one time I will have to agree with you...the study is bogus and I've seen many like this one too......Personally I have been taking a multivitamin/mineral regiment for over 30 years and tailoring what and how much I take to compensate for my age...so far so good.....And as far as getting the right amount of Vitamins and minerals from the food we eat....well good luck with that..the soils in which most food stuff grow in, including what cattle eat...is so leeched from eons of farming that there is very little natural nutrients left..so therefore the food is also lacking.
