Most of us are taught from a young age to take vitamin and mineral supplements to be healthy and even fight off certain diseases, but now some doctors are saying that isn't so.
A local physician says it's best to avoid the pill aisle if you are shopping for some healthy diet aides.
Instead, he recommends folks load up on vegetables and fruit and pass on the breads, pastas, and grains.
Doctors say there is such a thing as "over nutrition," that can actually cause damage to your body if you overdose on certain vitamins.
Dr. Alley also tells us that some studies have shown that vitamins can actually aggravate certain conditions, such as cancer and hypertension.
