In recent years, newspapers have been trumpeting the news that vitamins C, D and Eas well as multivitamins preparationsdo not prevent heart attack, stroke or cancer. These reports have led to a great deal of confusion and disillusionment among healthconscious consumers, many of whom already take supplements and are genuinely interested in practical ways to bolster their health and wellbeing. Many news reports fall woefully short of telling the whole story about a scientific study or about the conclusions of the scientific community regarding a specific issue. Media reports often present a study's findings in a scattershot, fragmented manner, and without the proper scientific contextfor example, by failing to acknowledge the many studies that have, in fact, found vitamins to be beneficial to the people who take them.
Jane Brody's Personal Health column in the 24 March 2009 edition of the New York Times is a case in point. The report was titled "Extra Vitamin E: No Benefit, Maybe Harm." Because Brody is widely respected as a health journalist, her messages are often taken as gospel. But those who understand the fundamentals of nutrition and the science of supplements can read between the lines. For example, before discussing the vitamin E research, Brody makes this comment: "Some vitamin E enthusiasts object that the clinical studies used what they consider the wrong form of the vitamin, saying that each of the vitamin's eight forms has its own biological activity. But the kind of vitamin E used in most studies, alphatocopherol, is the most active form in humans, according to the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Office of Dietary Supplements."
In that single, artful statement, the esteemed Times journalist managed to dismiss the crucial argument that mixed tocopherolsthe eight forms of vitamin E to which she alludeshave effects that differ markedly from those of alpha tocopherol. Rather than discuss the science that demonstrates the superiority of mixed tocopherols, the forms that are naturally present in food, she points to the NIHwhich happens to be the main source of funding for the vitamin E clinical trials she subsequently citesas the final word on whether alpha tocopherol, in isolation, is a valid form of micronutrient for study. Never mind that human studies published in peerreviewed scientific journals have shown that mixed tocopherols, when compared to alphatocopherol alone, are far more powerful in protecting cells against the ravages of free radicals and maintaining various measures of cardiovascular health. Some studies suggest that gammatocopherol and tocopherol mixtures exert more potent effects against cancer as well. Because everyone expects vitamins to have a beneficial impact on health, negative sound bytes are a boon to media interests. This is why the more favorablesounding studies are rarely scooped up for a headlineand there are many. For example, the US Nutritional Prevention of Cancer Trial demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in lung cancer incidence with selenium supplementation,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors femmes[/url], with 200 micrograms per day cutting the incidence of cancer by nearly 50%. Sadly, however, because such findings are what most people would expect, they rarely garner the kind of media attention received by negative studies.
In the early 1990s, several large population studies showed significant decreases in cardiovascular disease in people who consumed more vitamin C or vitamin E. For example, in a 10year study conducted at UCLA, men who supplemented daily with 800 mg of vitamin C lived six years longer on average than men who consumed the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 60 mg a day. The study, which enrolled over 11,000 people, showed that the higher vitamin C intake lowered the death rate from cardiovascular disease by 42%. One randomized controlled trial, conducted by urologist David Lamm and colleagues at the West Virginia University School of Medicine, found that "megadoses" of multiple vitamins resulted in a nearly 50% lower cancer recurrence rate compared to supplementing with the RDA levels of those same nutrients.
Findings like these have seemed promising enough to attract the attention of the NIH, which subsequently invested hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to determine whether vitamins or antioxidant supplements could help ward off heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and other major diseases. When these large, expensive studies failed to show any difference in these problems between the vitamin and placebo groups, the media announced that people should not take these supplements. But again, because the science was being presented in a simplistic or "sound byte" fashion, a great deal of critical information was lost in translation. For example, what doses were used in these studies? Which forms of nutrients were chosen? Was adherence to the supplement regimen carefully monitored? And is it possible that certain combinations of nutrients are needed to see a beneficial effect?
Among the fundamental errors made in most vitamin studies to date is to assume that one can study a single nutrient and see a real, measurable health benefit. But we've known for decades that multiple nutrients are far more effective than single nutrientsjust as multiple nutrients are found in food, one cannot take a single nutrient and expect to see favorable results. Our human evolutionary mandate is to receive our nutrition much as we would from foodthat is, presenting the nutrients to the body in combinations rather than as single nutrients in isolation. And it's not just micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), but also the thousands of plantderived nutrients, or phytonutrients, that are needed to ensure that a "vitamin supplement" is going to work well in the body.
Nutrition scientist Lester Packer of the University of California at Berkeley was among the first to drive home the importance of this perspective. Dr. Packer views the interactions between antioxidant vitamins as a kind of "network", with each vitamin's activities complementing and reinforcing those of the other vitamins. When antioxidants encounter powerful free radicals and neutralize them, they themselves become weak oxidants and can then be neutralized or recycled by other antioxidants. The end result of combining antioxidants, then, is to minimize the generation of oxidants and create a high degree of antioxidant power. The socalled "network" effect may be critical to the success of vitamin studies, and yet, because vitamins have been viewed in the same way as drugs, they continue to be studied in isolation. The trick is in figuring out which combinations of nutrients are ideal for a particular individual, based on their biochemistry and other factors.
Similarly, it's important to understand that a supplement is literally a supplement, not a substitution for healthy eating. None of the negative vitamin studies have bothered to try to improve the diets people were consuming. And yet, a poor or imbalanced diet can sabotage any supplement regimen, and many people take supplements thinking that they can just go ahead and continue eating in ways that actually promote disease. We know from firsthand experience that a junk food diet can totally nullify the benefits of supplements. This is why I strongly advocate an individualized clinical approach with a whole foods dietary program at the foundation, supplementing with multiple nutrients and bioactive factors. As a case in point, consider the recent study published in the 9 February 2009 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. This eightyear study included 161,808 postmenopausal women, making it the largest study ever of older women taking multivitamins. Based on the findings, the researchers claimed that multivitamins were useless in preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease in women.
Despite the media's gleeful announcement that this study "proved" the ineffectiveness of supplements, the researchers never actually monitored what the women were taking during the study period. It's quite likely that most were taking cheap, synthetic vitamins. In addition, however, there was no measurement of how often the women actually took their vitamins or indeed whether they were taking them at all. Because this massive study never actually measured the effects of multivitamins, its conclusions can only be considered misleading and unfounded in short one of the worst examples of junk science we have to date.
Other Flaws in the Research Fabric
There are many other problems in the way vitamin studies are conducted these days. For example, many of the faulty studies have used dosages well below the amount shown in earlier vitamin studies to be effective in preventing heart disease, cancer and other conditions. If an individual lacks a particular nutrient, she will likely benefit from initially taking a larger dose of that particular nutrient for repletion purposes. Similarly, if an individual suffers from malabsorption and other digestive weaknesses, or if the body is overloaded with mercury, lead or other toxic metals, she will be unable to benefit from even fairly substantial doses of the supplement.
Along these lines, these large studies never take you, the individual, into consideration. Unless you individually tailor your supplement regimen, many supplements are just a waste of money. Our clinical experience at the Raleighbased Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine attests to the power of using sophisticated testing to tailor dietary supplement regimens. Unless you actually measure what the body needs or what the specific nutrient deficiencies are you are shooting in the dark and missing the biological targets that would otherwise engender health and vitality.
Sensational reporting on the "vitamins don't work" theme can be very effective in discouraging the public from taking these micronutrients. But the conclusions from the best research to date should instead be a call to the FDA to help improve the quality of research on dietary supplements, to urge an individually tailored approach to supplementation, to improve the quality of dietary supplements, and to increase the recommended dose of vitamins to the level that is known to be effective for those individuals who are deficient.
Your blog "Selling the Vitamins don Work Myth" is 100% correct. I recently wrote a blog about the confusion that professional and lay people face when reading the literature on Vitamin E. My blog can be found atMy best advice is too always check to see what form of Vitamin E was used in any Vitamin E study. If the study did not use mixed tocopherols, then the study was not a Vitamin E study, only an alphatocopherol study.
The newspapers and media print biased stories against nutritional supplements because the media depends on advertising revenue from the drug companies. The media will therefore run stories which are negative for vitamins and supplements, which in comparison makes the drug ads look good. The reality is that by and large, vitamins are safe, and drugs are dangerous. Adverse effects from drugs cause 140,000 deaths annually. On the other hand, there were no reported deaths last year from taking vitamins..
