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)
