	from Fiona Haynes In theory, we should be able to get the vitamins and minerals we need from the food we eat. In reality, few of us eat well enough to be able to do that. Should we make up for the shortfall by taking lots of supplements, or would we be better off rethinking our diet?

In the Spotlight

Do We Really Need to Take Vitamins?
Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet should provide you with all of the individual nutrients you need. Not everyone has a good diet so some of those nutrients might be deficient. For example, a person who hates fruits and vegetables might not get enough vitamin C and someone who refuses to eat dairy products will frequently need extra calcium. Taking a daily multivitamin is an inexpensive and easy way to be sure you are getting the vitamins and minerals you need.
