Vitamins: The 40-Billion-Dollar Con

Are you tired of spending a fortune on colorful vitamin capsules that promise to make you healthier? Well, wake up and smell the broccoli because it's time to face the truth - vitamin supplements are a scam!

That's right, despite the billions of dollars spent on these supplements, over half of Americans (and 68 percent of those over 65) are wasting their money on something that has zero scientific benefits. In fact, studies have shown that taking vitamin supplements can actually be harmful and potentially deadly.

Don't believe us? Just ask the scientists who have been studying the effects of vitamin supplements for decades. They'll tell you that the supplement industry is based on three faulty assumptions - that Americans need more vitamins and minerals than what we get from real food, that the benefits of real food can be boiled down into a magic pill, and that megadoses are safe.

But don't take our word for it, let's hear it from the experts themselves. In 2016, a research paper published in the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded, "we believe that the case is closed. Supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful. Enough is enough."

So, before you waste your hard-earned money on the 90,000 dietary supplements on the market, remember this - eat real food, mostly vegetables, and your body will be sufficiently nourished with all the vitamins and minerals it needs. And you'll save a ton of cash too!

Here’s a Poem About the Vitamin Scam

Vitamins, the magic pills we take,

Promising health and strength to make,

But little do we know, they're just a fake,

A scam, a scheme, a big mistake.

We spend our money, billions in all,

On colorful capsules, big and small,

But science tells us they're not worth it,

No benefits, just harm, we'll inherit.

Studies show they're dangerous too,

Increasing cancer, heart disease, it's true,

And yet we still believe in their power,

But in reality, they're just a sour.

We're told we need more vitamins,

But real food has them, it's no sin,

We fall for the false assumptions made,

But the truth is, they're just a charade.

So before you pop that vitamin pill,

Remember, real food will do the thrill,

Eat your veggies, fruits, and grains,

And you'll find true health and gains.
