Vitamin Supplements: Beneficial or Harmful?

The widespread use of vitamins and supplements to enhance health and extend life is now being questioned. Taking supplements, particularly megadoses, may be toxic unless the individual's actual level of a particular vitamin is known. Jules M. Elias discusses the biology of cellular energy production and the consequent production of the free radicals that can cause damage. Dr. Elias is emeritus Professor of Health Sciences at the State University of New York. He is author/co-author of more than 90 publications and several texts, the latest being the 2nd edition of "Immunohistopatholgy: A Practical Approach to Diagnosis.” He now lives in Portland and is an active chamber music clarinetist.
