Yes, there was a large study here in Sweden a few years back that indicated vitamin supplements tend to do more harm than good.

Seems like it’s been more or less confirmed by other studies as well.

Eat some fruit and a carrot!

Out of interest, would you happen to have a link or reference to those studies?

It might have been this[0] Swedish article that got me looking in to this some years back.

Here’s some more data[1].

You can quite easily find more research.

It’s clear to me that the science is inconclusive regarding benefits, at best.

We’ve evolved by eating and having complex processes take place inside our bodies to break down the food.

My personal take is that these processes in them selves can be important, and bypassing them doesn’t necessarily have positive outcomes.
