My issue with articles like these is people start to think things like vitamins are a problem in their diets. They are not! Vitamins don't matter. They are a religious/marketing gimmick! The people in these articles are extremes and most likely have bigger issues (and are not HN readers) Study after study has shown vitamins supplements in rich countries (and hence vitamins in food) don't mater. Yes, the food religious types think pills are different to food. Once again that's just not science, it's (marketing) religion. As long as you are not in the .1% with extreme issues (Or a few well known exceptions like pregnant, vegan, lacking sunshine), worry about the bigger issues. What matters is the bad stuff you put into your body like highly refined energy, alcohol, smoke. Micronutrients only matter for the extreme poor. Which there's a billion of, but once again not HN readers looking at their personal diets.
