(( They were the pills with the golden promise and many thought the

and health conscious consumers were eating them up.
SOT/JAMES JACKSON, VITAMIN TAKER
I probably take about 12 or 13 different vitamins and enzymes and
things, every single day.
NARR:
But government researchers now suggest that while Americans must
remain vigilant about their vitamin intake, LARGE DOSES of so-called
antioxidants may do more harm than good.
SOT/NORMAN KRINKSY, NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 13:17:10
Too few studies have tested the effects of these dietary antioxidants
in human subjects, and in some cases where human testing has been done,
the results were contradictory.
NARR:
In fact, too much vitamin C may cause diarrhea, and those taking too
much Vitamin E could have in increased risk for stroke or bleeding.
So the panel is urging a change in the governments recommended
dietary allowances and for the first time, is putting a ceiling on how
much Americans should take.
(GRAPHICS)
Under the new guidelines, women should consume at least 75
milligrams of Vitamin C a day, men 90 milligrams, with smokers a little
more.
For Vitamin E, 15 milligrams a day should be enough for both men
and women.
NARR:
Nutritionists like Edee Hogan say those are levels easily met with
one glass of orange juice and a few nuts on a salad.
The message: eat right, and supplements arent necessary.
SOT/EDEE HOGAN, AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION 10:14:12
Vitamin supplements are just that: they are supplements.
COWAN ON CAM 8:58:13
The findings could have an enormous impact on the booming multi-vitamin
industry. Americans are spending more than 14 billion dollars a year on
supplementsmore than ever before.
NARR:
And old habits die hard.
SOT/JAMES JACKSON, VITAMIN TAKER 8:23:28
You know, maybe its a waste of money, I dont know, but if its not,
its sort of like an insurance policy, thats how I look at it.
