When It Comes To Supplements, More Is Not Better

Dear Reader,

Doctors know that vitamins are needed to change food into energy, and when people don't get enough of these important nutrients diseases like scurvy and rickets are the result. It's not so much a question of if we need vitamins, we surely do. But how much? And do we get enough in foods?

The nutritionists say that you only need the recommended daily allowance, that's the amount of vitamins and nutrients you'd get in a regular diet. The makers of vitamins argue that the typical diet doesn't have enough vital nutrients, that more is better. Few people think that excess vitamins could do any harm, and yet experts have known for some time that large quantities of supplemental vitamins can be very troublesome to the body.

Work published by respected The New England Journal of Medicine in 1994 where Finish subjects who took beta carotene for 5 to 8 years found they were more likely to lose their lives to either heart disease or lung cancer. Just two years later, the journal published a different study on vitamin supplements that had to be stopped when it became clear the risk of death due to lung cancer for the subjects who took vitamins was 46% higher than for those who didn't. And these were high risk lung cancer patients, not the average person.

In 2004, a review of randomized studies for the Cochrane Database saw that supplements of vitamin A, C, E and beta carotene along with mineral selenium actually upped the mortality rate. The vitamin combo was being given in an attempt to prevent intestinal cancers. By 2005 a review appearing in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that supplements of vitamin E increased mortality in the trials that were examined. That year vitamin E was also shown to up the risk of heart failure in those with vascular disease or diabetes.

In 2011 work appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association links vitamin E supplements to a higher risk of prostate cancer. Another Cochrane review found that higher doses of vitamin A, vitamin E and beta carotene seem to increase mortality. Why does this happen. The answer may well be antioxidants.

To neutralize the bad free radicals that are a natural part of natural cell processes, the body creates antioxidants, the same as the ones found in fruits and veggies. Vitamins A, C and E, beta carotene and selenium are all natural parts of these good for you choices, and there have been studies that find those who eat more fruits and veggies have a lower incidence of heart disease, cancer and end up living longer.

When It Comes To Supplements, More Is Not Better Continued...


A supplement of these substances just doesn't work the way the natural ones do. Maybe those free radicals we've all heard so much about aren't all bad after all. We do need them to kill off bacteria and eliminate new cancer cells. When you take too many supplements, it may be that the balance between free radical production and destruction tips too much one way. This results in an unnatural state for the body, leaving the immune system less able to manage dangerous invaders.

This is known to research as the "antioxidant paradox".

The take home message for all of us is that large amounts of supplemental antioxidants haven't shown they're of use, so public health organizations won't recommend them for those who are healthy.

If you're wondering why you haven't heard more about the dangers of too much vitamin supplementation from your own Food and Drug Administration, get this. In 1974, worried that people were taking in larger quantities of vitamins, the FDA announced a plan to regulate any product that had more than 150% of the recommended daily allowance - makers would have to prove the mega doses were safe before selling. Experts back in 1974 pointed out the obvious - taking in large quantities of vitamins at once is unnatural, but this was the opposite of what the vitamin industry wanted. Care to guess who got their way?

It is against the law, on the books since 1976, for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate megavitamins. As a result, consumers know nothing about the risks, are spending money they don't need to and doing things to their bodies unknowingly that may or may not be beneficial. Educate yourself.
