Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything?
jeffw@lemmy.world 1 year agoThat’s part of it, ig. But there was this one study where they gave people shit tons of one vitamin and they just started dying because they weren’t getting anything else they needed. Sounded intense.

I’m sceptical. That would be an extremely unethical test. And it would only prove that too much of something can kill you. Did you know that people can even die from drinking too much water?

This was a study of a specific disease that caused a specific deficit in one vitamin. They tried hyper-dosing people to treat it and had to stop the study because they died.
Can’t remember which disease it was
