Unit 10, exercise 24a http://www.yourdailynews.com The vitamin debate The news that vitamin supplements could actually shorten life expectancy will come as a shock to many people. It may also come as a nasty surprise to the drug and health food companies that manufacture them. As this week’s news coverage shows, the vitamin industry has its critics. Nevertheless it also has a lot of support from nutritionists, doctors, personal trainers and millions of ordinary people who strongly believe in them. A recently published study by the University of Copenhagen is not the first piece of research to raise concerns about the dangers of taking vitamin supplements. The team of scientists, known as the Cochrane Collaboration, revealed that vitamin supplements taken by millions of people do not increase life expectancy and may actually raise the risk of earlier death. The review of 67 studies, which involved more than 230,000 subjects, found that vitamin A, vitamin E and beta-carotene are, contrary to popular belief, bad for your health. Wouldn’t these numbers make you think twice before buying more vitamin pills? The best piece of advice still appears to be to eat a healthy balanced diet, as good food provides a rich balance of chemicals and nutrients that you just do not find in supplements. The message is that nutritious food, not pills, is the key to staying healthy. Student C 174 A Activities Nur zu Prüfzweck n – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
