In this provocative video, what Dr. Greger has to report may surprise you.
This is the last in a series of six posts featuring Dr. Michael Greger, who is now in the process of following through with his commitment to publish a new video for the first 365 days of his new site. While traveling this week, I pulled together a few of the most provocative videos that he has published so far.
Here is one (about 2.5 minutes) about the use of multivitamins and their impact on the risk of breast cancer. As always, Dr. Greger presents well-documented information regarding these vitamins which 40% of American women consume — at a cost of $4 billion. Is that investment doing them any good?
From the nutritionfacts.org website: Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician, author, and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition, food safety, and public health issues. A founding member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Greger is licensed as a general practitioner specializing in clinical nutrition. Currently he serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States. Dr. Greger is a graduate of the Cornell University School of Agriculture and the Tufts University School of Medicine.

Oct 13, 2011- On internet news an article by Marilynn Marchione, AP Chief Medical Writer: Worried about your vitamin safety?
“There is no clear evidence that a multivitamin lowers the risk of cancer, heart disease or any other chronic problem…no government agency recommends them…they aren’t required to undergo the strict testing required of the US approved prescription medicines….yet this is a 9.6 billion dollar business”
The article does go on to say you can find your vitamins in vegetables and a whole lot more like fiber…
Time to wake up America…Eating a diet loaded with vegetables, fruit, beans and whole grains (4 Leaf) has been PROVEN to lower risks of cancer, heart disease…..
Why don’t people get it????? It is just so clear.
