Do you take vitamins?

Do you take vitamin supplements?
If you do, which vitamin did you consume?

I google for the answer:

1.  Almost one in three people in the UK take a vitamin supplement (www.netdoctor.co.uk › Diet and nutrition › Healthy eating)

2.  Take them with caution.  If you are taking regular vitamin supplements, or thinking about it, ask your doctor before doing so. And by the way, 100 grams of spinach has healthy amounts of vitamins A, C, E, K, several B vitamins, and essential minerals including iron and calcium. So ditch the vitamins and eat your spinach.  Or blueberries.  Blueberries are great.

Interesting findings:

1.  UC BERKELEY LANDMARK STUDY PUBLISHED –  that taking no multi-vitamin may be safer than taking other company brands.  Shaklee Corporation  came out of the study with bragging rights that it’s users had markedly lower incidence of coronary heart disease, angina, congestive heart failure, diabetes, stroke and emphysema not to mention lower homocysteine, LDL,(bad cholesterol), Triglycerides and higher HDL (good cholesterol).

2.  Dr. Steven Salzberg (Professor of Medicine and Biostatistics in the Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine)

"If you don’t have a serious vitamin deficiency, taking supplemental vitamins doesn’t provide any benefit, in almost all cases that have been studied.  What’s even more surprising is this: routinely taking mega-doses of vitamins might actually harm you." He said top 5 vitamins that you should not take (unless your doctor recommends it) are 

a) Vitamin C - Although Vitamin C is generally safe, megadoses of 2000 mg or more can increase the risk of kidney stones

b)  Vitamin A and beta carotene. Vitamins A, C, and E are all anti-oxidants, which have been promoted for their supposed anti-cancer properties.  The evidence doesn’t support this: for example, in a large study supported by the National Cancer Institute*, smokers who took vitamin A were more likely to get lung cancer than those who didn’t.

c). Vitamin E. Long touted as an anti-cancer agent, vitamin E is a very popular supplement.  A large study last year, of 35,533 men, looked at vitamin E and the risk of prostate cancer. The authors found that the risk of cancerincreased for men taking vitamin E.  In an even larger review done at Johns Hopkins University, Edgar Miller and Lawrence Appel found that the overall risk of death was higher in people who took vitamin E.  The Mayo Clinic summarizes the evidence this way:

“Evidence suggests that regular use of high-dose vitamin E may increase the risk of death from all causes by a small amount.”

4. Vitamin B6.  The B vitamins, including B6 and B12, are present in many foods, and deficiencies are rare.  But taking B6 supplements for a long time can be harmful, as NIH’s website explains*:
