Of course it’s always better to get vitamins from food, but getting them from a multivitamin is better than not at all.
There are many problems with this post and this study:
-
This study did not conclude that there are no health benefits from taking multivitamins, that’s a false equivalence made by the poster.
-
This study has no parameters for the quality or types of vitamins taken other than “multivitamin”
-
This study exclusively reports the correlation between mortality and multivitamins, which is an inconsequential and useless statistic without any parameters.
-
This study does not take into account any variables apart from a lack of long-term health disorders among multivitamin takers.
This is relevant as many people take vitamins specifically to rectify long-term health disorders.
Then again, seeing as how their only metric was mortality and not efficacy on health, that wouldn’t have mattered in this study.
- Objectively, a large percentage of the multivitamin market are older people, who are more likely to die.
This could be one of the explanations for the 4% higher mortality rate in multivitamin takers. I’m sure there are others, since no variables are parameters were taken into account or structured into the study. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2820369
This “study” is the sum function on an Excel sheet that counted the number of deaths connected to the number of people who reported taking multivitamins, which is a useless number without controlled parameters or variables taken into account.
The study means nothing.
