Oprah

I just caught the end of an Oprah & Dr. Oz episode. Dr. Oz basically listed about 80 vitamins a person should take DAILY to be healthy... this includes 2 baby asprin if you are over 40.

This list for a 20-40 year old woman includes: A, B6, B12, C, D3, E, F (folate), Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Biotin, Pantothenic acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc, Potassium, Lycopene, Lutein, Quericin, Omega-3, Cinnamon, Red Pepper, Tumeric, Coenzyme Q10,
Coffee & Green Tea.

It also included specific amounts of each item you should take and how often a day... I realize that most of these are in a multi-vitamin, but it just seems to me that a Doctor would recommend eating healthy before he would suggest taking a ton of vitamins. I had recently read an article online about how a lot of the vitamins, medications etc. we take are making their way straight to the water system. Wouldn't we encourage people to eat healthy before they put all of these items into their bodies?
