Until they have another study to back it up, I'm not going to get to worried about it. I make sure not to over do the fat soluable vitamins as I know that can be bad. And we don't know the size of the study, was it double-blind etc.

I read this article and wouldn't be too worried -- I'm also a freelance writer by trade and wrote about this topic years ago for Health Magazine. Basically, the idea is you don't want to go crazy with the vitamins because so many of your foods are fortified too, so it can all add up to unhealthy amounts in some specific cases. But they're really talking about folks who take super-mega-doses, and I'm sure we all do riskier things every day (like use hairspray or drive our cars). :)

I was concerned too, particularly regarding magnesium. But the newscaster shared after that this study was not in any way conclusive. As Sharon said, we're not taking mega doses.
My bigger concern is based on Dr. Oz's show the other day where he exposed health scams. I know to look for certain testing to make sure I'm getting what is supposed to be in the bottle, but I was being duped by some language and testing labs that I thought were ok. So, now I am left feeling uncertain again.
I just bought a 4 month supply of juice plus, something I took for many years and really did well on. I know others who have taken it and gotten their blood tested regularly since they had the stomach staple surgery and only needed to add calcium. But still, I'm questioning because to my knowledge it is not tested by the lab represented on this show.

I find this study hard to believe, as taking vitamins were at first thought to do nothing at all, and now they are saying that they could be bad for you? That was like the phase they went through that said don't drink milk. I have high doubts about the article. Although I do agree that if taken in to high of dosages that could be harmful. Too much of anything can be harmful!!!

I for one am a fan of vitamins. I find that they make me feel better more often that not, and I do notice when I don't take them these days. I take them Monday - Friday and take Saturday & Sunday off. That is just my game plan.

Just a reminder that the study was on multi-vitamins. It does not state which brand or brands, doesn't tell whether the multi was age sensitive, or anything else specific.
I personally, have never agreed with taking a multi-vitamin. I'm a little disturbed now to find out that juice plus has vitamin powders in it. I started taking it specifically because I don't think multi's are safe. Not only do we all have different needs based on our age, diet, where we live, genetics, disorders and diseases, but we also have different requirements on given days.
