Are we talking about the same guy who sells supplements and takes hundreds of vitamins everyday, despite there being no evidence of positive effect ? (http://www.rayandterry.com/)

I believe that very little is known on the effects of this kind of supplementation. Avoiding dangerously high mineral content which could lead to illnesses like kidney stones, there doesn't seem to be strong evidence AGAINST. I therefore suggest perhaps we defer judgement as there also appears to be little evidence FOR.
