Each day
I do something I know is ludicrous: I take vitamin supplements including garlic and cod liver oil capsules. I have a fairly balanced diet, am not infirm, pregnant or alcoholic, so have absolutely no need for them. a harvard study recently found most supplements have no real benefit for normal adults. So why do I do it? I don’t feel healthier or get fewer colds. But I no longer worry about my diet. I don’t feel guilty when I eat a pizza and leave the salad, or tuck in to sugary cereal instead of muesli. In my opinion, the scare-mongering by the medical and scientific communities about how we’re not eating properly has led to the boom in supplements. I haven’t become more cavalier in my attitude to my health since taking them, just less worried about it.
