Multi Vitamin-Take It Or Bin It?

By Haiyan Lai-Heskin

There's no question that many people don't get the nutrients that they need from the food that they eat everyday. Diets that are dependent on fast food or restaurant food at least two or three times per week make it hard for people to get the vitamins and minerals that they really need in order to be healthy.

So in theory multi vitamins are a great idea, but doctors and medical experts on split on whether or not multi vitamins really give people the nutrition that they lack.

One of the biggest reasons that some doctors feel that taking multi vitamins is a waste of time is that most of the thousand of multi vitamins that are on the market today are made up of synthetic vitamins and minerals that were created in a lab specifically for use in a multi vitamin tablet.

How you think the synthetic vitamins and minerals help the body as much as the natural vitamins and minerals found in food would? Some doctors and medical experts argues.

There has been no conclusive proof that synthetic multi vitamins can be harmful to your health, and some evidence that suggests that multi vitamin pills are somewhat effective at providing the body with the vitamins and minerals that it needs.

Alough those synthetically produced multi vitamin are somewhat effective at providing some nutrients for your body, but a scientist at Northwestern University says that can't come close to the amount of vitamins and nutrients that are absorbed by the body through food.

It's far better and more effective that your body interacts with food to get vitamins and minerals from food than through a multi vitamin.

And most doctors would agree that multi vitamins aren't going to completely replace the need for food but they argue that multi vitamins are a good back up source of vitamins and minerals for people that don't always eat a balanced diet or don't always get the kind of nutrition that they should through food.

The proponents of multi vitamin pills has their point that with soil depletion, pollution, and the use of pesticides and chemicals that the food people eat today isn't all that healthy and most of the vitamins and minerals have been depleted before a person even eats the food.

As the dabate will carry on about whether or not multi vitamins are as effective as eating food to get vitamins and minerals,for most of time and certain people that are too busy to eat a healthy diet, or people that can't eat certain foods because of allergies, or people that don't like to eat certain foods, or people that are dieting taking a multi vitamin everyday will help you give your body all the tools that it needs to stay healthy. - 17269
