Negligible Benefits, Robust Consumption.
- Authors
Cohen, Pieter A.
- Abstract
The author conveys his thoughts on studies that evaluated dietary supplements and have yielded disappointing results on potential health benefits. Topics mentioned include the link of supplements with ephedra to serious adverse events in the late 1990s and early 2000s, delay in progression of early age-related macular degeneration due to combination of vitamins and minerals, and a decline in multivitamin use from 37 percent to 31 percent.
