The deadly health threat that you never hear about
This probably won’t surprise you, but I’ve long stopped watching mainstream media news because it disgusts me. Talk about fear mongering, sensationalism and drama—some of these well-groomed puppets ought to win Academy Awards.

Multi-vitamins were primarily for people whose diets were less-than-stellar, or perhaps people who for a variety of reasons were not able to fully absorb or use nutrients...
