As far as most of us know, because it's what we've always been taught, taking vitamins

is what we need to get our bodies into peak form, both physically and intellectually.

Vitamins are good for us, turning ordinary people into superheroes.

Or is it perhaps true that none of that is correct?

That perhaps, vitamins are needed for a balanced diet, but don't have anything to do with

conferring super-health.

The truth about vitamins is up next, Unskeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor, we are conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

vitamin C. Everyone knows this is the best way to stave off a cold.
