The Truth about vitamins

We live in a vitamin-obsessed culture, thanks in part to Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, who viewed diet supplements as the best defense against disease. This program explores research that counters Pauling's theories, suggesting that high doses of some vitamins may actually harm the human body. Outlining Pauling's achievements in chemistry and his innovative ideas about nutrition, the video contrasts his conclusions with new studies of vitamins A and E and the manufactured forms in which they are typically consumed. An alarming association with increased osteoporosis and cancer rates is one of several medical findings discussed. A BBCW Production. (50 minutes).

Clinical trials reveal adverse effects of high doses of Vitamin A, links between beta-carotine intake and lung cancer, retinol and osteoporosis. Researchers contribute their insights as to the benefits and dangers of high vitamin intake."

  • "Nearly 40 years ago Linus Pauling revolutionised the way people thought about vitamins when he claimed that by taking huge doses of Vitamin C you could prevent, or cure the common cold. Millions now take vitamin supplements every day, convinced that they have the power to keep them healthy. Growing numbers of scientists now fear that taking large doses of some vitamins may be damaging our health."
