Some quick follow-up. this came out recently: Vitamin supplements may increase risk of death | Science | The Guardian

Some choices quotes:
Quote:
Vitamin supplements taken by millions of people do not increase life expectancy and may raise the risk of a premature death
Quote:
The bottom line is current evidence does not support the use of antioxidant supplements in the general healthy population
Quote:
The evidence suggests it would be safer to obtain the chemicals not as supplements but by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Just more evidence that dumping vitamins into water (or whatever) doesn't make that product healthier, in fact it may make the product less healthy.
