Is A Pill Enough?
Popping pills keeps you in the clear, right? Wrong.
Your multivitamin may have a sinister side,
according to a study from Taiwan. People who were given a sugar pill they thought was a multi were more likely to opt for a buffet lunch and take short cuts while walking than people who knew they were popping a placebo. We may believe that vitamins offset bad habits, says study author Dr Wen-Bin Chiou. As you take your multi, plan at least three healthy actions to take that day.
And remember: Swallow your multi with water, never tea. The polyphenols in tea can affect mineral absorption.

C'mon guys, you can do better than this article.
There's a wealth of research on supplements and whether they're good for you, as well as whether any of the vits are actually absorbed by the body.
There are also many articles on how minierals are absorbed - simply taking them with water isn't good enough, as some require the presence of fat to be absorbed by the body.
