The article explores the history of the vitamin industry and how it has shaped our perception of the necessity of supplements. It discusses the studies that have questioned the effectiveness of vitamin supplements and highlights the potential risks associated with their excessive use. The author argues that a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutritious foods is generally sufficient to meet our nutritional needs, and that the notion of "more is better" when it comes to vitamins is misguided.
