Pass the PB&J, hold the vitamins
Posted October 1st, 2007 by minortopics | via www.abcnews.go.com1 in 3 children take vitamin supplements? That’s crazy and according to new “research”, a waste of time.
Now docs are questioning the effectiveness of giving your children vitamins. Can synthetic supplements counter bad eating habits? I think not!
The new study, published in the journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, suggests that many parents may believe that multivitamins provide children with extra nutrients they might not be getting in their everyday diets.
However, there is no solid evidence that taking a multivitamin improves a child’s health.
