Vitamin and mineral supplements have been in the news a lot lately. There's conflicting information out there: Are supplements good for you? Are they necessary? Should everyone be taking them?
Before posting to this week's discussion, read the following two articles that address the topic of micronutrient supplementation:
1. Annals of Internal Medicine editorial (Links to an external site.)
(https://annals.org/aim/article/1789253/enough-enough-stop-wasting-money-vitamin-mineral-supplements)
2. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advice (Links to an external site.)
https://www.eatright.org/resource/food/vitamins-and-supplements/dietary-supplements/vitamins-minerals-and-supplements
Now, imagine that your best friend just sent you an e-mail that reads something like:
"Hey! I hear you're taking Nutrition this quarter. I'm worried about my diet and I think maybe I should start taking a multivitamin. What do you think?"
Use the information in the articles above, plus anything else you're learning in this course, to write the e-mail you'd send in response. (Please use professional language and correct grammar.)
I expect your response to be approximately half a page to a page.
