Vitamin supplements: Experts warn there is no evidence that multi-vit can prevent cancer or heart disease

Multivitamins are a waste of money for most people, and there is little evidence that they prevent chronic disease.

That’s according to a new report from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of experts.

The scientists said the supplements were useless for healthy people, as there was not enough evidence that they reduced the risk of heart disease or cancer.

The boom in the supplements industry sees Brits spend £430 million a year on vitamin or mineral pills, with an estimated 20 million taking supplements of some form each day.

More than half of the population in the United States regularly takes supplements and spends $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) a year.

Many claim it reduces the risk of heart problems and cancer, based on the results of small studies.

But a new meta-analysis of dozens of research papers has found no evidence to support the claims.

He issued a special warning about beta-carotene, a popular immune-boosting supplement, and this review found that it can actually do harm.

However, the report noted that people with vitamin deficiencies may still benefit from taking nutritional supplements such as calcium and vitamin D, which have been shown to prevent fractures and possibly falls in the elderly.

Researchers say that eating fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Therefore, it is reasonable to consider that important vitamins and minerals can be extracted and packaged in a pill, saving you the hassle and expense of maintaining a balanced diet.

But all fruits and vegetables contain a mix of vitamins, phytochemicals, fiber and other nutrients that can work together to improve health.

Individual micronutrients may function differently in the body than when they are naturally rich in other nutritional components.

Some research has suggested that certain vitamins, such as vitamins C and E, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

It contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta-carotene, antioxidants once thought to help reduce cancer.

As part of the new USPSTF report, the scientists reviewed 84 studies on vitamin E, vitamin A, beta-carotene and multivitamins.

Vitamin E, which is often found in nuts and seeds and helps keep skin and eyes healthy, research has shown that supplementation has no effect on intake or death from cardiovascular disease or cancer.

Studies in people who smoke or have been exposed to asbestos showed an 18% higher risk of lung cancer in those who used beta-carotene compared to those who did not.

Beta-carotene is an orange-red pigment found in carrots and tomatoes that is believed to promote skin health.

It stimulates the body to produce more vitamin A, which is important for vision, growth, cell division and immunity.

Overall, the review found “insufficient evidence” for the use of multivitamins to treat cancer or heart disease, the report concluded.

But the team said that pregnant women may still benefit from taking vitamins that are deficient in certain vitamins, as well as vitamins like folic acid, which supports healthy fetal development.

Scientists from Northwestern University in Illinois backed the new guideline in a GIAMA editorial telling people to stop looking for a “magic pill set” to solve their medical problems.

Dr. Jeffrey Linder, chief of general medicine at Northwestern, says, “Patients are constantly asking, ‘What supplements should I take?’ he asks.

When we need to follow fact-based practices of healthy eating and exercise, they spend money thinking there must be a magic pill set to keep them healthy.

“The task force doesn’t say, ‘Don’t take multivitamins,’ but the idea is, if these were really good for you, we would know by now.”

Rather than spending money, time, and attention on supplements, it’s better to focus on activities that offer lower risk and greater benefit.

But a professor of general internal medicine at Northwestern University, Dr. Natalie Cameron said that vitamin supplementation and optimizing cardiovascular health before pregnancy is an important part of prenatal care.

She said: ‘People who are pregnant should be mindful that these guidelines do not apply to them.

“Some vitamins, such as folic acid, are essential for pregnant women to support healthy fetal development.

“The most common way to meet these needs is to take a prenatal vitamin.

“More data are needed to understand how specific vitamin supplementation may affect the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and cardiovascular complications during pregnancy.”
