Often I get these worried call from my patients saying that their specialist doctor has warned that there are potential side effects from vitamins and supplements and even can kill. According to study published In Journal Of Clinical Toxicology, a 174 page annual report (http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/Portals/0/2008annualreport.pdf), there was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008. 61 poison centers provided data for the U.S. National Poison Data System, which is then reviewed by 29 medical and clinical toxicologists. The same report documents 1,315 deaths from pharmaceuticals including 520 deaths from aspirin, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs. Cancer and heart disease is the leading cause of death, third leading cause of death is hospital errors, surgical procedures, pharmaceutical drugs, doctor’s mistakes and drug interactions. It is ironic that we do not promote healthy living life style, but are willing to distribute pharmaceuticals drugs and often unwanted surgical procedures like candies.
