National newspapers TV and Radio are today full of a study they claim shows supplements can increase the risk of mortality. Meta analysis is notorious for it's ability to neutralise findings of good studies , mix them up with other studies with completely different aims and produce inconclusive evidence. It's misleading to isolate vitamins and minerals, take them out of normal context and make judgements like this because, without ensuring an individual has a nutritional need and the correct levels of supporting nutrients, it could then lead to other deficiencies and subsequent problems. It would be questionable, very unusual and strange for a nutritional therapist to just advise taking vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and selenium which is the basis for the Danish review.
There are always risks with self prescription. A nutrition therapist has to study for a minimum of 3 years and then continually update their knowledge to be granted professional insurance that allows them to practice and advise individual clients on their individual nutritional health needs.
However it's irresponsible to suggest, as the National papers have today, that supplements are bad for you.
