Hi there!

I just read Gloria's posting on multivitamins and men's health. The new research from Harvard's men's health watch was very interesting! I was just wondering...the research suggested for the "average man" to give up multivitamins...at least for now....but I'm wondering if this applies to men 50 years and older?
Your help would be most appreciated! Thank you!

Hi JenH,
I heard a news report this morning and it said all men should stop taking multi- vitamins immediately, they are also concerned about folate enrichment of products and bowel cancer. I just checked Gloria's article on the home page and what I heard is exactly what she says there. I am always wary of supplements because of too many adverse reports, get it from food and I don't think you can go wrong.

I agree that you should try your best to get vitamins and minerals from food, but that is so difficult to do these days, so I do take supplements and multivitamins. I have experienced better overall health and immunity from taking them and no bad side effects, so I am not about to stop taking them now.

Hi Rich. Bronson,
It is everyones prerogative to make choices for themselves but I also think people should be putting all the information out there, as they have on this forum,so everyone can make informed choices.

Hi friend
Levitra is medicine for especially for men’s health cure. It’s much better in compare of other medicine. Its main advantage is that the person can use this drug with other medicine. Anyone can order Levitra online.

Even though i have read that too much of multivitamins have a drastic effect on ones health. Dont know if it is true or not. I think we should ask an expert to comment on this topic!!

Hi irving123,

I never source my information from the "Country Women's Association",(no insult intended, they do a great job), it only ever comes from research scientists, and I would have thought we could 'loosely' call them experts, when it is their field. I suppose working in the field for twenty or thirty years may give a practitioner some degree of "practical expertise', wouldn't you agree? Where do you look for expert advice irving123, could it be vitamin manufacturers? biggrin.gif
