News Article- March 13

Deathly Vitamins

Some of the vitamins that have been considered healthy are now being considered the cause for such diseases. Vitamin A and E what was once linked to preventing cancer is now 17% more likely to contract cancer. Vitamin C helps fight cold, but if too much vitamin C is taken it can do the opposite. It can actually cause you to catch a cold. Researchers are working on finding the downside to other vitamins, but the process could take up to a year to complete.

I like that the article listed all the different forms of each vitamin. It makes sense that too much of a substance can harm our bodies. The article was a good length, and it held my attention for most of it. Of all the things going on right now, I feel like this is pretty important. I could consider our healthy to be worthy of being in the news.

  1. Good post. It seems that the FDA is regularly changing how much and of what vitamins a person should take. After a while, it gets very confusing. For example, the FDA even changed the Food Pyramid from what it was and how many servings of each food group a person should have. I understand that as science and technology advance, changes would be made. However, this seems to be a regular isue with FDA. What are your thoughts?
