To be honest, I bought the book because I’ve noticed for years that I don’t feel well when I take vitamins. I also notice that nowadays, it seems that hoards of people are taking loads of vitamins, and they are often recommended in books about nutrition that I read (which has made me a little suspicious, to be honest). I have the feeling that vitamins have a bit of a halo effect in our society.

We love our vitamins. Christopher Wanjek is the author of the books Bad Medicine and Food At Work.

We love our vitamins. The levels of vitamins C and E were greater than those found in an ordinary multivitamin tablet-1,000 milligrams of C and 400 IU of E, or roughly 10 and 20 times the recommended daily allowance. But we love our vitamins.

For several decades, we have noticed that the antioxidant pendulum appears to swing vigorously from ‘only healthy’ to ‘extremely toxic’, and from ‘natural antioxidants are best’ to ‘antioxidants cannot act’. The squabbling parties do not seem to listen to counter-arguments. Erroneous statements are not corrected, and thus the pendulum oscillates to the extremes. As a consequence, we might fail to spot opportunities for which antioxidants may aid in optimizing health

This book was well researched and very informative, and contains information that I think would benefit many people. To be honest, I bought the book because I've noticed for years that I don't feel well when I take vitamins. I also notice that nowadays, it seems that hoards of people are taking loads of vitamins, and they are often recommended in books about nutrition that I read- (which has made me a little suspicious, to be honest). I have the feeling that vitamins have a bit of a "halo effect" in our society. The author explains, however, why it is far better to eat whole foods for nutrition rather than synthetic, fractionated vitamins. One of the many problems is that vitamins function very differently in the body when they are isolated; whereas in real, whole foods, various vitamins, minerals, enzymes and co-factors work together in a synergistic fashion. In other words, isolating single vitamins, as is done with pills, can cause major imbalances in the body, with even more problems than a low-grade deficiency of that vitamin would have caused. The author also explains how the body is naturally able to take the vitamins it needs from whole foods and excrete the rest, whereas when vitamins are fractionated and separated from all the other elements and co-factors (as they are when they appear in the form of vitamin pills)- the body is unable to do this efficiently. In fact, the body reacts to synthetic vitamins as if they were a toxic substance, and tries to excrete them as quickly as possible!

I learned a lot by reading this book. It is well researched, well written, well explained and easy to understand.

I think everyone should read this. It scientifically explains why people shouldn't take synthetic vitamins. Talks about what people did for health before the big vitamin craze, beginning about 50 years ago.

Books is in desperate need of an index and an update. Does have some good information but the task of finding it is tedious. (One has to really, really stick with a subject to weed out the facts.).

Fantastic read to help you understand what your body truly needs. Also, deCava's book educates on how to decipher the latest vitamin information in the mainstream for yourself so that you can wisely choose how to feed yourself. I read it from cover to cover!
