Americans are consuming vitamins in ever-increasing amounts, and
this book was written because its authors, both biomedical
professionals, could get no sound general guidance on vitamins for
themselves and their families from any existing volume. They were
impressed with the confusion, conflicting information and claims,
and indeed fraudulent hucksterism that exist in the field of
vitamins. The authors' objective is simple: The readers of their
book should be better equipped to question their need for vitamins
and to understand what they do and do not do for them. In addition,
the information provided here should help readers to evaluate
critically the many claims of the manufacturers and distributors of
vitamins, and others who hold vested (although not necessarily
commercial) interest or positions on vitamin use. Among the topics
discussed in the book, starting with the question of why one needs
vitamins, are megavitamin therapy, vitamins and weight reduction,
vitamin C and the common cold, vitamins for children, vitamin E,
vitamins and aging, and vitamin therapy in mental illness. The book
also contains a table of recommended dietary allowances of
vitamins.
