It's like the whole thing with vitamin supplements. Unless you are actually deficient in one of them, taking them isn't going to do much for you, and in some cases might actually cause you harm. It's like fertiliser on a field, after a certain point the plants can't use any more and it just runs off to the rivers. Vitamin C is a good one for that, I seem to remember reading that at best taking large doses just means your piss contains a lot of it, and at worst, if you mega-dose for long periods, it raises your chance of getting some cancers. It reminds me of the adverts on the London Underground. Every time I travel through London to see my parents there will be adverts medicalising lack of sleep and exhaustion, flogging supplements and "remedies" for what is basically being tired, or "chronic tiredness syndrome" as one advert described it. I'm so glad I didn't choose that life. |
