Expensive Pee

Today's Wall Street Journal has an article that must have old Linus Pauling turning over in his previously-thought-to-be-nutrient-rich grave -

"Is This the End of Popping Vitamins?" 

The case for dietary supplements is collapsing.

A succession of large-scale human studies, including two published earlier this month in leading medical journals, suggests that multivitamins and many other dietary supplements often don't have health benefits—and in some cases may even cause harm. 

I'm skeptical. I mean, they don't even quote anyone from Tufts' Friedman School of Nutrition. Everyone knows they're the smartest. Go Jumbos!
