After presenting the results of the studies, the author of the article says, Personally, I'm not convinced that we should completely stop taking vitamins and supplements. While I agree that foods packed with nutrients can provide most, if not all, of our dietary needs, the fact of the matter is that many of us eat very poorly.
Surely the thousands and thousand of research subjects will have the same poor or good diet as everyone else. The author really wants to believe that vitamins are good for him, so he will continue to believe it. This makes me somewhat skeptical of Dvorsky as a science writer. He's a local fellow - do you know him Cadell?
