Vitamin pills may increase risk of death, warns report

CONSUMING large quantities of costly vitamin pills may do little more for your health than create expensive urine, a nutritional expert has warned.

Amy Baker, nutritionist for the National Dairy Council, was speaking after major analysis found that taking vitamins A, E and C, and beta carotene and selenium, does not lead to a longer life.

Ms Baker said eating vitamin-enriched food was probably the best approach to healthy eating.
