I do believe that for certain uninformed people (that are that way simply because of the mass confusion that all of these supplement companies are able to create) that supplements and vitamins do, for many, promote a false sense of progress. There are numerous articles highlighting findings that supplements do very little for our overall health. But I can see that your main point here is that it is easy to pop a few multivitamins and have a sense of “good health” for doing so. That we do little things to avoid doing that the things that have a real impact. Have I ever taken a “greens” supplement to avoid eating fruits and veggies all day? YES! Is the greens supplement sufficient enough? No…because it is simply that, a supplement to what I should already be doing.

Thanks for another great post! You were able to convey the exact thoughts I have had very eloquently.

Clark you can read the point that Rusty reiterated in the Psychological Science study link found below. None of what you read above were his own claims that you quickly attacked him for. They are backed up by real studies so take a read:
